Funny Story by Emily Henry
5.0
For a romantic comedy, this book was so good. I was relieved that some of the very overdone tropes were absent from this book (don’t worry: there are still plenty of them awaiting you in the almost 400ish pages).
The characters were either likable or despicable. Half of the characters are truly terrible people and the other half seem like they could be your best friend. Idk what it is about the books I’m reading, but usually there are just a lot of characters that are hard to like, so this was a nice change.
The pages just kept turning as I got further and further into the book. I put down all the other books in my queue and only read this until I was done. This book was enjoyable and actually made me feel real feelings.
I’m fairly sure that the ex-finance (male) in this book was manipulating and controlling the FMC. Maybe this book could help someone else in a relationship similar to theirs? There’s a beautiful takeaway in this book about not letting yourself get isolated from the things and people you love.
I can’t believe I’ve written this much about a romcom book, but it was truly everything that everyone hyped it up to be. Hope you enjoy(ed) it too!
