cute and fast book.

This is my second Emily Henry book. Honestly, I despised Happy Place but decided to give Henry the benefit of the doubt and try this one. I like this one much better. I really related to the FMCs personal struggles. However, I didn’t really feel immersed in the characters or story. I still enjoyed the read though! Thinking about trying Book Lovers after this since I’ve heard it’s her best one.

I completely forgot how crazy straight people were. This is the first straight people book I’ve read in years probably and I see why I can’t really read the straight people shit anymore. Now, I say this while having the next new Emily Henry 2025 book on my to-read list, so this book could not have been that terrible. I just think that straight couples are boring as fuck in comparison to lesbians and if the two main characters in this were queer, preferably lesbians, I may have ate this shit up!! (Yes, I am 5000% biased cus I’m a huge dyke, what can I say) Miles was mad dry, literally #JustSomeGuy personified. He was nice, and that was all there was to him. I love our protagonist’s children librarian career, but outside of that, she bored me. Huge yawn. Literally forcing myself to read some sapphic erotica immediately after I finish writing this review to remember who I am & go back to real literature aka: that gay shit. This book just make me audibly say to myself “thank god I’m not straight”.

My first read of 2025 did not disappoint

The way I was able to connect and relate to the characters is an understatement.

A story about love, friendship, heartbreak, independence, self-doubt, the list goes on. Funny Story took me on a beautiful journey I didn’t know I needed.

Thank you Emily Henry for creating another magnificent piece of yours.
