Funny Story by Emily Henry
5.0
adventurous emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Emily Henry does it again. At the closing paragraph I literally gasped aloud, "that was so good."

I love how every supporting character is always fully formed and contributes to the plot/mc growth.  The small town hominess was like its own character and that alone was inspiring. I somehow always relate to every one of her books, but this one really resonated and healed a part of me right along with Daphne.

If I were to have any complaints (are we playing Whiny Babies?) it would simply be to lament that the book is entirely in Daphne's POV. I'm a sucker for a dual or multi-POV.
