Will update this later but I’m just so pissed off rn

maybe me liking funny story was just a fluke. i appreciate how ambitious henry was with this plot, but it gets all rushed and messy - even contrived - in the last third. disappointing. gorgeous cover though. wished for more focus on alice and her mom.

i absolutely despise an epilogue/last chapter with a pregnancy reveal as a sign of happiness.

banger last line though. i think this is the last emily henry book i’ll read for a few years
