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.

I got a modern-day “You’ve Got Mail” vibe from the bookstore (story time & employee friendship dynamic) which I absolutely loved!

A bit of a slow start but I really loved the character development. It felt like the characters were in their 20s, not their 30s.

I’m a fan of how Emily Henry writes her men and Miles is no exception.

The ending was a bit abrupt and I would’ve liked it to be drawn out a bit more but that seems to be Emily Henry’s style. I appreciated the witty line to end the book.

Would love to see this as a movie!!

Personally would prefer not to have the detailed spicy scenes so went down 0.25 rating for that (but recognise this is totally personal preference).

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! 💙
