🥂 Funny Story by Emily Henry 🥂

MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After her fiancé, Peter, realizes he’s in love with his childhood best friend Petra, Daphne is left alone in Michigan with no friends or family, but with her dream job, and a new roommate - Petra’s ex, Miles. Miles is the opposite of Daphne, and they mainly avoid each other, until one day when they’re full of emotion, they decide a friendship and a plan to post misleading photos of their adventures together. But maybe they’re not so misleading anymore.

Ugh. I loved this. First - I loved the characters. Miles and Daphne and Julia were so well written and loveable. And I loved their dynamic. I feel like Miles and Daphne had banter and communication like a couple married for a long time at some points. I feel like they really knew each other and I could feel the chemistry and why they fell for each other. I feel like both of these characters really grew by the end of the book and had their own growth and story outside of the romance element. This was obviously one of Daphne’s learnings, and it was portrayed really well. Also f her terrible dad who is much like mine. The writing in this book was also so beautiful, and I think this is one of my favourite Emily Henry books so far. It had the classic witty banter, and emotional storylines while still being funny and lighthearted, and I hope to revisit it again soon!

What a cute story that had me giggling throughout. Daphne and Miles are polar opposites that just fit together so well.

This story focuses on how these 2 got together after their failed relationships. Each character has their own emotional hangups or baggage that gets explored and pushed through. The looming countdown is if Daphne will stay in Waning Bay or leave as soon as her big event, the Read-A-Thon, is over and she has a new job lined up.

I wish I had more eloquent words to describe this book and the rollerblader of emotions it will carry you through. Such a wonderful read that made me giggle and kick my feet, while my heart ached. This is the third Emily Henry book I’ve read and her books never disappoint. I have no doubt I’ll re-read this one!

I have heard so much hype about this book, and was sure it could not live up to it. But this book was so amazing. It was written so well that it drew me into each of Daphne’s emotions, I was frustrated, I laughed, I yelled and cried and swooned. It was perfect.

This book made me giddy again. Reading this book pushed me back to being a tween in my room listening to my favorite boy band and doodling my crush's name on my homework. I loved being able to read a book that made me feel like I was living the story with the characters. I definitely recommend this read to anyone who is looking for a love story in the most obvious sense of the word.
