The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Funny Story by Emily Henry

 

  

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader.  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader. 

Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my Beat The Backlist 2025 books, Funny Story by Emily Henry.  This author's adult contemporaries have been recommended to me a lot, so I'll give one a try.

Beginning:

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1ST

108 DAYS I CAN LEAVE

Some people are natural storytellers. They know how to set the scene, find the right angle, when to pause for dramatic effect or breeze past inconvenient details.

56:

It's been years since I made a new friend.  I mean, actually made a new friend, not just inherited one from Peter, or from Sadie, who's always been more of a social butterfly than me.
