I really enjoyed this. Very cute story and Emily Henry just has a way of sucking you in and not letting go. This is probably one of my favorites of her, besides Book Lovers. I still think that one is my favorite. Cute story of two ex's that end up living together because their significant others broke up with them to be with each other. And of course, eventually, the relationship blossomed. I listened to the audio and I think I finished it in about 2 days. I wouldn't say that there was anything spectacular. It's the typical formula of boy and girl meet, the relationship blossoms, something goes wrong and they break up, and then everyone is happy in the end. But Ms. Henry has a way of just sucking you into the story and it's a fun ride! (

I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. It is my favorite Emily Henry book by far. (

2024 read. Emily Henry writes books that make me feel good. They have ups and downs, and heartbreak too (both the characters and the stories), but I always come away feeling better than I did before I opened the cover. This was no exception. My only complaint is that I've had to stop drinking wine (med interactions) and the vineyard and wines there made me wistful. (

This book’s subtitle should be: everyone needs therapy. Also, I loved it! Realistic & healthy relationships, actual character development & honest conversations. Supporting the idea that you need friends and a community, not just one “perfect “ person. Miles & Daphne were a delight with buzzing chemistry. The supporting characters added so much especially Julia & Ashleigh, & the descriptions of Michigan were just the chef’s kiss. This one is one of my favorite of Henry’s books, tied with Book Lovers.

When Daphne's fiance, Peter decides that he is in love with his childhood friend, Petra and calls off their upcoming wedding, Daphne has nowhere to go, so she moves in with Miles, Petra's ex-fiance. Miles is a mess, himself, but commiseration makes dealing with their heartbreak a little easier, so she and Miles become friends and maybe more. Daphne begins to look for alternative employment, but she vows not to leave her dream job at the library before the Read-a-thon she has been planning for her young patrons is completed.

Funny Story straddles the line between romance and women's fiction, doing an excellent job at both. Daphne and Miles are both likable, well-developed characters whose backgrounds are filled with difficult childhoods. Their problems make them seem real and give them depth, while supporting characters add to the narrative as well. Some readers might be put off by the use of marijuana in the story, but none of it is illegal in the context used. While the climax leans towards women's fiction, the conclusion draws the romance to a satisfying close. Overall, Funny Story is an extremely entertaining contemporary romance with characters that grow and change in ways the feel very natural. (
