Funny Story (ft. Call It What You Want)

I might be missing something bc i don’t understand where the lemons on the cover came from, but we’re going with it. I have to admit that this book got me! I enjoyed it so much more than I expected to. Most romance novels that I read, specifically second chance romance, end with the main couple getting back together. Previously, I would swoon over a guy in second chance romance that sees his ex after 10, 15, 20 years, whatever and immediately breaks up with whoever he’s with because he realizes he is still in love with someone else. I love that shit, round of applause because no girl deserves to be with someone that is secretly in love with someone else. But because I am an empath, my heart still breaks for that girl that gets left even though it’s the right thing. Funny story is about that girl. Miles & Daphne are a story I would read over and over again, and it really is a funny story. 🤭

This is a perfect example of a forced proximity, friends to lovers trope. It’s 100% a slow burn. It’s got spice, like right in the middle of the hot pepper scale - the perfect amount to produce that chemistry. I have always love this song, but somehow these lyrical breakdown make me love songs even more, bc even tho I know in my head what I think they’re about, really digging deeper into the lyrics and the eras and explaining the meaning out loud on the podcast is so much fun.
