Emily Henry talked to Us Weekly exclusively about her latest book, ‘Funny Story,’ and teased her upcoming novel
When author Emily Henry dropped her latest highly anticipated novel, Funny Story, last month, she introduced fans to a new book boyfriend by the name of Miles.
Because she wanted to make the novel perfect for readers, Henry told Us Weekly exclusively that she “probably had seven drafts” of Funny Story before it was finalized. Us Weekly: These characters are going through it at the beginning of the book. Was there one scene that was harder for you to write than the others?
Emily Henry: I loved the idea of starting with Miles at his lowest point and Daphne at her lowest point and playing with the humor of that. Also, the challenge of then having to get the reader on board with the idea of Daphne and Miles possibly becoming more than friends when they've seen him just sobbing and hotboxing in his room watching Bridget Jones over and over again. That felt like a really fun challenge versus establishing a really sexy, alluring male lead right off the bat.
