Emily Henry just knows how to write 'em 💕 Her stories always feel real and honest and alive.

My absolute favorite part of Funny Story was how Daphne and Miles became best friends before anything more. Sure, the sexual tension was always there simmering, but they built a friendship before diving into those feelings. It's sad to rarely come across that in a book. 

5 stars, a gold star, two thumbs up, and everything else in between for this one ✨️

Basically I would trust Miles with my life but I wouldn’t even trust Daphne to turn my laundry over.

this was fun!! no, en serio. probablemente el libro de emily henry con el que más me he reído. me ha hecho gracia de verdad, y por primera vez ninguno de los dos personajes me sacaba de quicio. me ha gustado también que se centrara un poco en la amistad de la protagonista con su compañera de trabajo (cuyo hijo se llama mulder?? lol). él puede ser mi personaje masculino favorito de todo lo que he leído de la autora, francamente.
en otro orden de cosas, sí que tienen química (sus silly little dates son muy monas), pero las escenas más eróticas me han incomodado soberanamente, para variar. why cant you be normal @ autoras de romántica. y, como me pasa siempre con esta señora, el arco final me lo desinfla completamente: drama familiar metido con calzador, historia de superación sobre algo que al final no es tan serio, un conflicto entre ellos que se habría solucionado en diez páginas en el mundo real... pero bueno, estuvo entretenido. si estáis buscando algo tontorrón y divertido que leer este verano, este está guay para llevárselo a la playa.
