Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Funny Story

Oh MAN this book — and Daphne and Miles and all their issues — burrowed its way into my heart. I spent four hours reading in the sun on the dock, because I absolutely could not put it down. All of Daphne and Miles’s hardships hit deep, and watching them work through it as individuals and together… gods, it was beautiful. And I will defend them as long as I need to, because anyone who doesn’t love Miles is wrong.

Shelve this beside Book Lovers on my Emily Henry favorites list!

Ughhh. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!

Some crazy circumstances threw Miles and Daphne together. At first, I had my doubts about liking Miles and honestly couldn’t understand how their chemistry was going to possibly grow so much. But man, was I wrong.

I think the fake-dating trope must be growing on me because I thought everything about this was cute. And that slow burn was burning, y’all.

I think some of the charm was that Daphne had some… issues? And that Miles was a NORMAL DUDE. He had a normal job, wasn’t well rolling in cash, smoked some weed and lived in an apartment. Sometimes it’s nice to see a more realistic relationship depicted.

Her dad sucksssss and he didn’t deserve the time of day or any effort. But these two have huge hearts so of course he gets chance after chance.

Emily Henry is either a big hit or a pretty big miss for me and this one is one of my new favorites, for sure.

Favorite quotes:
“You can't force a person to show up, but you can learn a lesson when they don't”

“Trust people's actions, not their words. Don't love anyone who isn't ready to love you back. Let go of the people who don't hold on to you. Don't wait on anyone who's in no rush to get to you.”

“You're the reason for the word wonderful. It really shouldn't be used for anything else.”

Tropes:
Forced Proximity
Fake-Dating
