Funny Story by Emily Henry
4.75
This book is all a-buzz at the moment ... I had a bit of a wait to get it from the library. I absolutely enjoyed it. That being said - due to proFanity (x66) and sexual content, I wouldn't recommend it to my mom/sister unless there was a "bookangel" version :) Super cute story, even if it was a bit predictable (most romances are, there IS the assumption that the two characters are going to get together) with the "fake dating" setup.
1st person/present tense (except when talking about the past), this was all from the POV of Daphne - narrated by Julia Whelan in audio. Simple chronological chapters, this stayed simple and chronological.
Honestly - I didn't love Miles to start. The pot-smoking, drinking, tattooed guy. I just struggle with some of that stuff/it's me. His character did win me over though.
Loved the little nod to Jane Austen - the college class that was basically a Jane Austen Book Club, and the professor having each person state which Austen character they are most like. Daphne admits to being most like Charlotte Lucas. As the MC is a children's librarian, there were quite a few book related events and mentions. The relationship between Miles and his sister, (and with Julia and Daphne) was super cute.
Quite a few of the words I note (besides the f *Ü*) deign, roil, smirk, scowl, cacophony (recently mentioned in a FB group, and then there it was).
