5 out of 5 stars
Emily Henry has once again crafted a masterful and unforgettable tale with "Funny Story," seamlessly blending heartache, humor, and love in a way that only she can. Daphne’s journey from heartbroken fiancée to finding solace in an unlikely friendship with Miles Nowak is both endearing and refreshingly original.
The chemistry between Daphne and Miles is electric from the start, despite their differences. Their evolving relationship, with its twists and turns, makes for an irresistible read that keeps you turning pages. Henry's talent for breathing life into her characters is evident, as Daphne’s and Miles’ quirks and vulnerabilities shine through, making them relatable and lovable. You can't help but root for them as they navigate their emotions and the messy aftermath of their respective breakups.
Henry's signature wit and sharp dialogue are in full force here, delivering laugh-out-loud moments alongside heartfelt confessions and poignant reflections on love and identity. Her ability to refresh familiar romance tropes makes this book feel both comforting and unique. The way Daphne and Miles develop their bond, all while trying to prove something to their exes, is a joy to witness.
As an avid fan, Emily Henry is an auto-buy, pre-order, and buy-multiple-editions author for me. I always devour her books too fast and then find myself going through withdrawal afterward! "Funny Story" is an engaging, funny, and deeply human tale that will leave you with a smile on your face and a warmth in your heart. If you love stories of love blossoming from unexpected places, found family, and discovering yourself, this book is a must-read. Emily Henry truly delivers one of her best works yet with this heartfelt gem!
