Funny Story

Probably Henry's sunniest book to date. Because both Daphne and Miles are recovering from heartbreak, they choose not to act on their mutual attraction. Instead they develop a charming friendship with lots of UST. This is much more fun than previous tropes that Henry has employed, such as Second Chance at Love ([b:Happy Place 61718053 Happy Place Emily Henry https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1660145160l/61718053.SY75.jpg 97321939]) and Adversaries to Lovers ([b:Beach Read 52867387 Beach Read Emily Henry https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1589881197l/52867387.SX50.jpg 67832247] and [b:Book Lovers 58690308 Book Lovers Emily Henry https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1638867089l/58690308.SY75.jpg 92341790]). The novel is also a love letter to libraries; who among us can't identify with the lonely child who finds refuge there? I'm stepping away from romance novels for a while, but Funny Story is a delightful parting gift.
