Funny Story was a solid summer romance but not my favorite of Emily Henry’s (don’t get me wrong I fully enjoyed I just think she’s an elite contemporary romance author). This one reminded me a lot of "Just for the Summer" by Abby Jimenez, and I think if I hadn’t read that one first, this might have been an even bigger hit for me.

I adored Daphne and her journey to define her life on her own terms. She made such a fun little found family, and her struggle of making friends as an adult was #relatable. Sweet stoner Miles is definitely a new dream book boyfriend.

The writing was great, just as expected from Emily Henry. I loved the combination of the roommate dynamic and fake dating—it worked perfectly!
