Calling all Emily Henry<\/a> fans! She is back and better than ever with Funny Story<\/a><\/strong>, her latest rom-com. If you are excited to know more about the latest Emily Henry book, read our review below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were lucky to receive several advanced reader copies of this book, courtesy of our friends over at Penguin<\/a>, and let me just say, the excitement was palpable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that several of us have read it, we can all say that this entry from Emily Henry<\/a> is right at the top of our romance book<\/a> lists. Steph, our Assistant Category Manager said “This book was comforting, heartfelt, swoon-worthy – the best Emily Henry book I’ve read to date. If you’re a fan of romantic comedies that pull at your heartstrings, you must read this book!” – and if that isn’t a ringing endorsement – I don’t know what is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story revolves around Daphne and Miles, two protagonists in the midst of overwhelming heartbreak when the novel begins. Daphne has been unceremoniously dumped by her fianc\u00e9 Peter, right before their wedding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter goes off with Petra, his best friend and girlfriend of Miles. With nowhere to live, Daphne moves in with Miles, and thus sets the stage for a great love (and funny!) story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daphne and Miles are some of my personal favourite Emily Henry characters to date as they have such depth and interesting development. A big shout out goes to Ashleigh as well – she is so much more than a side character. I fell in love with this story and the fictional town of Waning Bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love romance books with depth that will make you feel a full spectrum of emotions, add Funny Story to your TBR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny Story<\/a> is officially out now! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
