Funny Story
by Emily Henry
I always love the set-up of Emily Henry’s books. In this one, Daphne’s engagement goes up in flames and she ends up rooming with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancé’s ex. You’ve got forced proximity and accidental fake dating!
Daphne is a librarian and book lover. She’s also a “we-girl” as in “We love that restaurant. We always vacation there. We don’t really like scary movies.” She hasn’t ever lived her truth and decided what she actually likes. Miles is a laid-back, tattooed, crocs-wearing guy who is incredibly kind and thoughtful. Both characters have family trauma that colors their current relationships. It makes them feel so real and raw. I enjoyed following their personal growth journeys and seeing how they evolved.
This book is full of emotions and will make you laugh and cry. The side characters were all so well developed and I cared so deeply about their stories. I especially loved getting to meet Miles’ sister—I’d love a book with her as the FMC! I highly recommend Funny Story, especially if you have enjoyed Emily Henry’s other books.
