Every book you read helps you build a richer picture of the entire world.

Funny Story by Emily Henry. Blue background with two people sitting at a high top enjoying lemonade.
This is such a great rom-com. Yes, it has a predictable HEA, but the characters are amazing and have great chemistry. The writing is witty. You’ll laugh and then tear up. Great book! 5🌟 #booksky📚💙
