• As an already exisiting fan girl of Emily Henry's, I can confidently say that Funny Story is my favourite book from her so far. Daphne & Mile’s story had me laughing, tearing up, and nodding along in recognition with her journeys and struggles the entire way. Never before have I resonated with a story on such a deep level. The main character's experiences mirrored my own in many ways, making it feel like I was reading about a close friend rather than a fictional character. Emily Henry has once again captured my heart with her captivating storytelling and relatable characters. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good laugh, a beautiful romance and a touching story of self-discovery!!

• Empecé hace un año a mejorar mi hábito de la lectura. Compré este libro el año pasado y lo dejé pasando. Hasta hoy, ha sido uno de mis favoritos. Genuinamente me reí de las ocurrencias de los personajes, lloré con sus penas, me angustié con sus pensamientos! Está súper lindo! Me encantó! Es de esos libros que vale la pena volver q leer una y mil veces más. Es encantador! Tiene buenos mensajes y no solo del amor. Realmente lo recomiendo

• Happy place was my favorite romance book from last year so my expectations for Funny Story were high ! They were so high that I was scared of not liking this one. But, Emily Henry did it again ! At first, I had trouble liking Daphne. She was always complaining and playing the victim. Sure her ex was an idiot but girl, just punch him in the face and get your life back on track (ok, I’m a bit heartless there). But, if Emily Henry is good at one thing it’s how she writes relationship. And Daphne and Miles’ was perfect. Nearly strangers to friends to lovers. The evolution was slow and so well done. It could have been a friendship story and it would still have been perfect. I was in love with Miles and his imperfections from the start. Come on, the guy wears Crocs and Emily makes you love him in a second ! If that’s not great writing, I don’t know what it is ! The other thing I like about Emily’s story is how the supporting characters are great and the found family trope is heartwarming and beautiful. As always for Emily Henry it’s a 5/5 read !

• Fofo, leitura rápida e fácil. Os personagens são adoráveis e a história é bem relatable. Mas é bem previsível sem nenhuma surpresa no final.

• "𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒐’𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇*𝒄𝒌 𝒖𝒑. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒛𝒆 𝒕𝒐, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 ‘𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒌𝒔’ 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈." I loved this 🥹. I finally picked up my first Emily Henry book, and I should’ve done it way sooner. This was the sweetest thing! The setting and people gave me this nostalgia for a place I’ve never been. Every little moment, every outing, every cozy shared silence or interaction, touched my heart. The conversations and banter were just so amazing -- funny, real, wholesome. I adored the chemistry, not just between the main characters but with the entire cast. "𝑰 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒍𝒂𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒊𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅." And Miles... He’s impossible not to love. Charming, effortlessly funny, kind, selfless, adventurous, and just full of light. Like Daphne says, he is a beam of sunshine in the dark, blessing everyone around him. And what I appreciated most is how real both he and Daphne were. They were mature, layered, and beautifully human. "𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍. 𝑰𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆." ✨ Daphne ends up moving in with her ex-fiance’s new fiancee’s ex-boyfriend (yes, it’s wild, and they know it). After getting left behind by their partners, Miles opens his home to her, and the story unfolds from there. ✨️I was so curious to see how this kind of romance could be handled well, and the author did not dissapoint. Everything felt natural: the connection, the pull, the hesitation, the shared grief and slow healing. Nothing was rushed. Just two people finding comfort and something more, step by step. "𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌. 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐'𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒏𝒐 𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 / 5 🌶🌶/5
