Emily Henry is my favorite writer, I think I can confidently say that now after finishing her 5th novel. I am awestruck every time I open a page she has touched and overwhelmed with emotion, thought and feeling. 

I've gotten into a pretty good groove of pre-ordering her books but then letting them sit for days, weeks or months before I pick it up because I know the minute I touch it, it'll be finished. The novelty will wear off and I will have to wait a long time for another story. 

That's what happened with Funny Story which was released in April but I didn't start reading it until last week. What happened next? I finished the book in less than 24 hours... once I crack open the fresh Emily Henry there's no stopping me.

I will admit that I wasn't that intrigued by the plot but I was hoping for the best...turns out, Funny Story might've just over taken Book Lovers as my favorite Emily Henry novel.

Emily Henry is the Taylor Swift of authors. She has the ability to take a trope, a situation, characters, and make you feel like you've known them your entire life. She has the ability to weave in real life thoughts, experiences and emotions into a fictional story, as if the story was written just for you.

When her third book, Book Lovers, was announced and released last year I was over the moon. I love books and books and a book named 'Books Lovers' which was about a pair of rival book agents/editors partnering on a new novel, sounded ideal.

However, I get into this place with books I'm really excited about where I can't read them right away. It's like I don't want to delve into the anticipation too hard or too fast. I wait for the perfect time to read my most anticipated books because I don't want to be disappointed or have that feeling go away.

It's very complicated feeling that doesn't make a ton of sense.

That being said, Book Lovers was the last book I read in 2022 and what a way to end the year! It was beyond my wildest expectations; it was better than incredible... it is indescribable how wonderful Book Lovers was.
