I am a firm believer that Emily Henry can do no wrong. Henry writes with such heart, such emotion, that her love for the genre feels palpable. It is a true testament to her skill that such a heartbreaking backstory (if we’re going off of vibes, think Tortured Poets Department) radiates humor and warmth.
As much as I enjoyed Funny Story, this is probably one of my least favorites of her novels. In my opinion, it is because there was such an emphasis on character development, that the love aspect was a bit neglected. Now again, that may just be bc I’m a hopeless romantic. I recommend everyone try it though:)
