This Will Be Funny Someday by Katie Henry
3.0
When deciding if I wanted to read this book, I saw that it was "the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel comes to high school." That description made my decision for me because I love comedy and the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (for 2.5 seasons).
Izzy's character development felt real to me as someone who was a teen in high school once upon a time and I loved how the book ended once I finally got there. However, I felt like a few chapters could've been left out/some of the plot points felt repetitive which frustrated me and I almost returned it to the library at one point. Call it delayed gratification or whatever but I really needed the plot to move forward more quickly (or am I really just that impatient?). Despite the frustration, I found myself rooting for Izzy and looked forward to the ending.
Overall I liked this book as well as Katie Henry's writing style. I'm glad I decided to read it.
