Emily Henry is my queen! 👑 Everything she writes is always equal parts funny and heartfelt. Funny Story goes beyond the standard fake dating trope to tell a deeply meaningful story about love; romantic, familial, and platonic. I really enjoyed Daphne’s journey of self-discovery. Her character arc was extremely satisfying. I also loved the layers to Miles. His character was surprisingly soft. As always, the side characters and the communal setting were as much a testament to the love story as the main characters. I’m already looking forward to rereading this.
