This book was such a fun and wonderful story about found family and finding one’s self. I found myself swooning over some of the literary one-liners that Henry worked into her writing, laughing out loud and tearing up with Daphne. This was the perfect summer read and I am so happy it gets to live on my bookshelf so that I can hop over to Waning Bay any time I want.

I am a firm believer that Emily Henry can do no wrong. Henry writes with such heart, such emotion, that her love for the genre feels palpable. It is a true testament to her skill that such a heartbreaking backstory (if we’re going off of vibes, think Tortured Poets Department) radiates humor and warmth.

As much as I enjoyed Funny Story, this is probably one of my least favorites of her novels. In my opinion, it is because there was such an emphasis on character development, that the love aspect was a bit neglected. Now again, that may just be bc I’m a hopeless romantic. I recommend everyone try it though:)
