My Thoughts I absolutely adored FUNNY STORY! Emily Henry is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. I loved both Daphne and Miles, their friendship, chemistry, and even their personal issues. They had so much heart. I really cared for both of them and especially about what they’d gone through in their lives. I’m so […]
