Funny Story

"The queen of the contemporary rom-com Emily Henry is back with Funny Story , surely one of the most anticipated books of the season. Henry specialises in sharp, funny storytelling that ticks all the boxes of a beloved genre novel while simultaneously teasing at or subverting the form’s most recognisable tropes. Funny Story is a take on the familiar ‘fake dating’ scenario, but the well-worn plot device is elevated by Henry’s trademark wit and warmth. An unmissable new release for all romance fans. I’ve also seen a lot of buzz around Paige Toon’s latest novel, Seven Summers —a love triangle set on the stunning Cornish coast—and Kennedy Ryan’s This Could Be Us , a follow-up to BookTok favourite Before I Let Go . It’s not summer yet, at least where I am, but these love stories are guaranteed to bring a bit of heat. Romance on Five Books"
