Funny Story

Emily Henry

4.29 AVERAGE


This book fell short for me. I felt there was a lot going on and some things were discussed in too much detail when that space could have been taken up by other parts of the story. There was also a lot of minor characters and details crammed in that were somewhat unnecessary, and I say this as a huge fan of Emily Henry’s world-building, this time it didn’t work as well for me. I did still love Daphne and Miles however hate the fact that in real life there’s no man that is or will ever be as emotionally intelligent as him.
Not a bad book by any means but not my favourite Emily Henry either.

A very sweet love story with a happy ending of course. Didn’t feel boring at all and loved the main character’s banter. I liked the way the book was written. I don’t like when a book makes the content too modern, it makes me cringe and can’t read past it, if that makes sense. (Sorry terrible at explaining) luckily this book doesn’t do that so I enjoyed reading it.

It was a competent story, well developed as a romance while not feeling too trope-y or gimmicky. Good development of the characters with their parental issues, and a believable story. Yet once it was over this reader felt it was too "straight" to really be "special" and realized I only read it because it was on a list. Don't regret it, but I wasn't the intended audience.
