Summary and Study Guide
Overview
In her fifth novel, Funny Story, released in April 2024, Emily Henry delves into the life-altering circumstances that force protagonist Daphne Vincent to start anew in her thirties. The novel paints a picture of the complexities of modern relationships, exploring how individuals often shy away from vulnerability, fearing that it may be perceived as weakness. Portraying the less glamorous aspects of love, Henry compels her characters, Daphne and her love interest, Miles, to confront issues such as depression, self-doubt, and generational trauma to sustain their relationship.
As of March 2023, Henry has sold over 2.4 million books. Recognized as a trailblazer in the new romance genre and capturing the hearts of millennials and the TikTok generation, Henry has been honored with the Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Romance three times in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Film adaptations of Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, and Book Lovers are currently in pre-production. Henry’s works have been featured in O, The Oprah Magazine; the New York Times; and Entertainment Weekly.
The source material comes from the 2024 Penguin Random House eBook edition.
