Another fun read from Emily Henry - her books truly are the romantic comedies of literature, they're sweet and a little spicy and you know exactly what's going to happen from the second you pick it up.

There is truly very little that I love as much as an Emily Henry romance, and this is no exception. Daphne and Miles have sparks for days, even while trying to keep afloat after a devastating breakup situation wrecks their lives as they know it. I love the witty banter and clever supporting cast, but my favorite thing is Henry’s remarkable skill in fleshing out background character’s stories, and how she unearths the complications of family trauma. I identified so deeply with Daphne and Miles- from their struggle with female friendships, to parental estrangement and gaslighting. The plot is usually fun and bouncy, even if all the submit matter isn’t. Love Love Love

"The toll of the last three weeks has given him a slightly feral edge—a Labrador bitten by a werewolf and dumped back at the pound. Relatable, honestly." (Emily Henry, Funny Story)

"Her voice has the force of a blunt object, and she once told me she “doesn’t mind confrontation” in a tone that made me wonder if maybe we were already in one." (Emily Henry, Funny Story)

"though truthfully, I’ve never trusted people who are too charming. My dad’s a charming guy. Doesn’t mean he actually means anything he says." (Emily Henry, Funny Story)

"“You know why they invited us, Miles. Because they’re both addicted to being universally loved. And they’re good at it. Good enough that they don’t realize you don’t get to be loved by people whose hearts you completely fucking destroy. They think they’re being the bigger people right now. But they don’t get to be the bigger people. For the next few years, they have to live with being the assholes.”" (Emily Henry, Funny Story)

"“The spot,” I say, “sounds exactly like where high schoolers come to smoke weed.” “True,” he says, “but I haven’t had any luck yet tracking down the stretch of beach where thirtysomethings go to smoke weed.” “Oh, they’re all just vaping from their beds while watching HGTV.”" (Emily Henry, Funny Story)

"To me, libraries have always represented the best of humanity. The way we all share knowledge and space, and . . . and how we find ways to look after each other. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s powerful." (Emily Henry, Funny Story)
