My favorite Emily Henry book. Everything about her books reads so close to real life, yet as a reader I still felt like I was in another world. This is perfect for people who need reality but a mental escape regardless. Miles and Daphne are everything, and I feel so at peace after seeing their growth.

Foi uma ótima leitura, com humor, o mundo de livros e literatura, trabalhando questões que atingem não somente o romance clichê, mas fala sobre independência.
O casal me prendeu desde o começo, o que fez com que a leitura fosse rápida, de devorar sem nem ver passar. Acho que lidou com situações bem reais, que torna a leitura mais próxima de nós, as relações sendo construídas pouco a pouco, eu gostei bastante. Numa escala de Loucos Por Livros até De Férias Com Você, eu digo que Daphne e Nora iriam arrasar juntas.

This is an utterly unbelievable story about two people whose partners hook up with each other so they try to fake do the same to make them jealous but end up spending so much time together that the question isn't whether they will get together but when.
I also didn't like all the baggage they brought with them - I don't want an entire book to act as therapy for two characters who have family issues and/or suddenly discover they have put their own life on hold for someone else.
All in all, not Emily Henry's best book. I've finished this three days ago and I have already forgotten most of the plot. What's left is an overwhelming sense of "please both go find a good therapist!"

Another fun read from Emily Henry - her books truly are the romantic comedies of literature, they're sweet and a little spicy and you know exactly what's going to happen from the second you pick it up.

This was a really cute romance; exactly the lighthearted feel-good story that I needed! I loved the romance between the two main characters but I also loved the friendship relationships that blossomed.

I truthfully don’t think I can properly convey what this book did for me. It moved me to tears as I listened and related to Daphne and Miles face their pasts and traumas. I smiled as I thought about my partner and while I read about Daphne and Miles being able to learn to be together while dealing with their personal struggles. I felt validated as I listened to each of them talk about how hard it is having relationships with family members who should be there for you but aren’t. Most of all, I loved that this book doesn’t promise a happily ever after. It showed the realistic world view that life can suck sometimes, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful and filled with people we love and cherish. I listened to 95% of Funny Story on audio and immediately went out to buy the book so I can reread it for years to come.
100% worth the hype! Read it! 💙
