Funny Story by Emily Henry

4.0

My kids always make fun of movies that use the name of it in dialogue. 'And SCENE!' they cry! (Usually while I'm trying to HEAR said dialogue and it's really annoying.) I liked this. I probably would have loved it, except the name made me think it would be FUNNY instead of warm and heartbreaking and lovely. Four stars bc Emily Henry is a fantastic writer. A lesser writer wouldnt have nailed the emotion.

Sweet, but the whole "I'm not good enough for him" spiel got old quick.

5.0

I read this all in one day - it was sweet and special, with enough humor to keep me going. Nearly shed tears on the regular, and I'm a robot who doesn't cry for books. There were a couple 'over-explaining' bits toward the end, but didn't take away from the experience.
