This book is awesome!! It was actually the first book I read in a long time, and it sparked back my love for reading. Now, in the past month I've been reading nonstop thanks to this book. It was funny, touching and I couldn't stop reading it. I loved this book so fricking much!! Thanks K. Henry :)

Delightful and fun without being fluff, Henry's "This Will Be Funny Someday" explores the ways in which comedy and performance can be vectors for healing and growth. I especially loved Henry's exploration of the often harsh transition to womanhood.
Just one of many lines that made me laugh: "'How do you know they both went to Harvard?' Mom smiles. 'It's like with vegans, sweetheart. They tell you.'" Read it!

Maybe this just wasn't the right book for me right now, but I found Izzy's passivity very grating. Also, the copy editor should be put on notice because I found 4 errors and I only read to page 100.

Loved it. If the stand-up comedy part of the plot didn't pull me in so fast, I would've still read this entire book just to see Isabel break up with her boyfriend. And it would be worth it.
In the end, this book turned out to be much more interesting than I expected. Also, Isabel's family situation and the need for everyone to like her all the time hit a little too close to home, but I love how it was handled.
