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.

Maybe one of my fave Emily Henry rom-com novels. Very likable, flawed characters whose relationship start out as a ruse but end up being the best plot twist to their lives

I'm going to have to take a breather before I leave a review .. so I can gather my thoughts. I see why people love Emily Henry so much. this story touched me in a way I never imagined it would .. sheesh!

But honestly, 6 stars from me! And I hardly ever read romance so that should tell you something!

I found the characters in the story really lovable and kind. But to be honest, I thought the middle part of the book dragged a bit, especially since not much happened between the two main characters or in terms of their relationship. In general, there were a few funny moments that I appreciated, but I was hoping for more humor overall—especially in a rom-com with a title like “Funny Story.” Toward the end,

some of the misunderstandings started to feel more frustrating than entertaining.

However, I thought the ending was well done.

This was a great rom-com read. The first three quarters of the book were laugh out loud funny and the last quarter the two MCs got in their own ways, so it was a little rough. Thoroughly enjoyable would read another by her.
