I’ll defer the synopsis to others (and every website that sells books). Suffice it to say, this is a contemporary romance set in a small town with moderate angst and main characters in their 30s (yay!)⁣

When I pick up an Emily Henry book, I worry whether it might be too “angsty” for me. Sometimes the tension in her books feels too real and too deeply felt. But, this hit the mark for me. There indeed was tension, but it largely wasn’t painful. ⁣

It was a pleasure to read this book and I couldn’t put it down. Could I make a critique here or there? Sure. But, in sum, Funny Story is just a superbly done contemporary romance. Give me my membership card; I’m joining the club of five-star reviews. ⁣
