Funny Story by Emily Henry
4.25

Another excellent Emily Henry novel, and a redeeming one after Happy Place, which didn’t live up to my expectations. The premise falling in love with your ex-fiancé’s ex (and vice versa) the week of the wedding was a little bit off the rails, but Henry managed to suspend my disbelief all while creating such memorable characters and an excellent sense of place in northern Michigan during the summer. It gave me Elin Hilderbrand vibes and I kind of hope she keeps up with summer novels in the same setting. I still think Beach Read is my favorite, but this latest is a close second and the perfect summer book!
