^^^ 🙂↕️🤭
a minute and a half in, babes u are so iconic. this is actually so funny. im just a girl watching another girl. two girls connected by words on a page that leave us devastated for months on end. ty for your service
stop i love you
LAUGHING at the sunglasses on sunglasses off every three seconds
me, a 30yr old lady who's never read and Emily Henry book, cackling away at this video, only to look down and see that somehow you only have 235 subscribers?! CRIMINAL
I didn’t find this video. This video found me. And it’s quite literally the best thing I’ve ever watched
Target audience REACHED!! I just finished Happy Place last night and I bawled my eyes out. Second chance romance always gets me and Wyn is so dreamy. Thank you for this vid!! I love your humor and editing style
ur so sweet omg 💞
I think this is so hilarious, I'm an Emily Henry lover but I have the exact opposite ranking to you, I haven't read funny story yet but book lovers is one of my favourite books of all time and I hated people we meet on vacation 😭😭 with that logic I probably won't like funny story but we'll see😭😭
SAAAAME! I’m very excited for funny story, but my ranking is also the opposite of this 💔
the people needed this fr
on god
I’m going to assume that Midwest Gothic is a take on the literary genre Southern Gothic which is basically what Faulkner wrote. The term Gothic comes from the British or European genre from the 18th century which was where supernatural and dark themes are explored in the early novel. Southern Gothic took those themes and focused into a type of regionalism which was highly popular in early American literature. It’s not the same as the music genre or aesthetic.
i’m loving these takes on solving the midwest gothic lore thank you so much omg
25 minutes in and starting to wonder why I'm still watching.. Never once opened a YA book or heard of any of the people you were talking about.. but DAMN you got me invested in something I have absolutely no interest in! Scrolling down after half an hour of listening I genuinely expected this to have over 50k views and you to be a big youtuber I've just never seen before
Emily Henrys writing definitely evolved from Book Lovers to Happy Place. The writing in Happy Place is phenomenal, it's so gorgeous and you step right into the book with how beautifully descriptive it is. I haven't read Funny Story, but Happy Place has the best, most descriptive and really fun locations that allow for perfect scenes. I think this book has the most developed characters from any of her other books, as well as including queer and non white main characters! Its a really great summer vacation romance that has a large element of found family. All of the difference settings and activities that the characters were involved in were super fun! My copy is covered in annotations from all the times I have reread it since it came out!!
I am so obsessed with this deep dive. Emily henry books are insanely popular and YET I feel like there is no community! Or at least no depth to it, this scratched a deep itch in my brain that was dying to connect with someone over these books
Happy Place was actually my first read and I LOVED IT- then devoured all her other reads!!
You say Augustus Everett and the girlies COME RUNNIN
our pyramids are like the exact opposite, but loved this still girlie
while watching this video I ran to go grab my copy of Beach Read. This will be my second Emily Henry book & I could not be more excited!! A stunner of a video, was giggling through the whole thing ♡
I have never read an Emily Henry book & i have no idea how i ended up here but you are [word that means hilarious but like funnier than that] and I am so invested. 10 min in and I'm already sad knowing that this video will end. I sat up in bed to write this. It's that serious.
You’re so underrated! I needed this video. I’ve never read Emily Henry but she is EVERYWHERE so I, thinking of checking her out 😂
I needed this because for some reason the ONLY Emily Henry books I’ve read are her YA ones and so when she became super popular I was like ???
people we meet on vacation is the best one
Correct
This is iconic and I need more Content like this please and thank you!
I found this video at the perfect time!! I’ve only read Book Lovers, and it wasn’t my favorite, so I’m excited to see your recommendations
Sold! I only read People We Meet on Vacation but you’ve convinced me to pick up Funny Story next.
I have been recommended this video three times this week so I thought third time's the charm n I'm so glad I clicked. Subscribed! ❤
I randomly found this video AND I'M SO HAPPY. You're so funny girl!!!!
So glad I found this. I’ve only ever read one Emily Henry book (book lovers) and I’m excited to read more :3
bro how do you only have 60 subscribers? you're literally hilarious
i need more videos like this for when i'm writing
How is it possible you only have 466 subscribers ! This video is a masterpiece, you are soooooo funny !
I loved this video! 💐💗 I would love to see another analysis by another author! 💗
This was one of the best videos I've ever seen. The sunglasses every 2 seconds, perfect. I was laughing nonstop. Not to mention, I love Emily Henry, I will consume all of her adult novels I do not care. I loved this video so much I will forgive you putting my favorite book, Beach Read, at the bottom of the pyramid.
i miss wattpad comments so bad, thats why i add highlights and notes in ebooks with jokes and reactions like its a comment section, knowing full well nobody else is there to see it lol
finally finished the video and have to say that i'm hurt seeing that pyramid ... book lovers deserved better (beach read too, but i was late to the party bc after reading PWMOV first, i just didn't appreciate beach read enough that first time)
I needed this fr😂😂 you’re hilarious!! I only read People We Meet on Vacation and I ate that book up in a single read! But i didnt like it😅 gave it 3 stars cuz the story was meh but her writing was.. something else so maybe i just read the wrong book by her.
I absolutely love this video, few words to describe this video: hilarious, lovable and true. I read most of her books except funny story and her ya books ooop, but now imma change that.
i absolutely love your comment omg
I have no idea who you are but I subscribed this was gold thank u youtube algorithm u did good work today
5 minutes in and CACKLING!! this video needs more traction and I need you as a bestie please
hey bestie 🤭
I’ve already read most of these but this popped up in my KZhead recommended and I’ve never been more glad I clicked on a random video lmaoooo
more reader deep dives please:)
While I do not fully agree with your ranking I respect it 😌 Thank you for doing the lords work and creating this piece of art. Subscribed.
Leaving my ranking here just because: 1. Beach Read 2. PWMOV 3. Happy Place 4. Book Lovers (Have not read Funny Story yet because it’s still shipping 😫)
i respect your ranking as well #gusgirl4life
I seriously thought you had thousands of subs… 114?? Criminally underrated
6:12 love that split the world was amazing
funny story is SO GOOD thank you for giving it the spotlight it deserves!!! praise our lord and savior emily henry.
Girl I’m obsessed with this video 😍
I DNF’d Happy Place 4 times before finishing it. I’ve never read any other Emily Henry because of that. You convinced me!
That's kind of iconic
Happy Place is my least fav (I actually disliked it) of all the Emily Henry I’ve read. Would recommend trying out beach read or people we meet on vacation :)
@@cheryllim7728 I’ve read Beach Read and it’s soo good
I love Emily Henry but Happy Place is, IMO, her worst book by far. I would recommend literally any of the other ones.
@@Wanderlenz I’m glad I’m not the only one!
There are books and then there are Emily Henry books!! I feel like Funny Story is every critique Ive ever had from her previous books resolved. It’s like she said “I hear you about how annoying the family tropes are in Book Lovers oh and also my writing somehow got even better, enjoy!”
I feel honored that I am from the same state as Emily Henry herself
I read them all and only liked beach read and book lovers lmao. I have a friend who is a BIG Emily Henry fan and she likes the same ones as you too!! And I feel like this happens a lot? The Emily Henry vs casual readers DIVIDE is real
I want this video played at my funeral
i've never subscribed to a channel faster !!!
Oof the book lovers disrespect hurt lol. But I also I loved this video and I agree with all of your other takes. I might love book lovers mainly for the sister relationship tbh lol.
Cincinnatian here, the “Kentucky river region” is just Northern Kentucky (cities like Newport, Covington, Florence, etc.) they are just right across the Ohio River! Most people just lump them into the Cincinnati metro area.
happy place is still in my mind
I need more book content
Manifesting Speak Now TV? Now I have to read her books
Turning 19 in a month🥳🥳. I like ur presentation 😀 Edit: subscribed
as a midwesterner i think we all feel a sense of camaraderie being the flyover states no one can distinguish
this is very very niche, but i work in book marketing and develop media calendars (like birthdays, death anniversaries, world history events etc so that publishing folks can plan their campaigns): a lot of famous authors don't have their birthdays public for some reason? more than you'd think tbh idk if this happens in other industries as well, like well known but not public facing people don't have googlable birthdays
We love this for you (:
Subscribed! I will clear up this mentioning of Gothic for the Midwest: there's a very famous painting called American Gothic- look it up, you will have seen it before. It depicts two Midwest farmers from Iowa, and it predates the gothic subgenre/music scene. Only problem is whoever made that website was hoping people would remember the painting instead of the subgenre/music scene. By the way you are hilarious and I need more videos from you
THANK YOU!! i know of the painting but i didn’t think about it!! you are genius
you are iconic!!
so glad the algorithm brought me here
this is so niche but i thoroughly enjoyed this. #subscribed
I went on an insane journey to find Emily’s birthday but it keeps getting removed so I guess nobody will be able to appreciate my hard work lmao sksksksk
PLEASE I TRIED SO HARD 😭 i swear her team has wiped it from the internet
I'll just read the book at the top of the pyramid. Dessert first.
i just finished funny story and the last page made me cry so much i threw up :) EMILY HENRY YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS
LITERALLY
You are amazing
As an Emily Henry stan & Ohio native this video is everything. 👏🏻👏🏻
about to start Funny story! my top is #3 book lovers #2 happy place #1 beach read
Do I like Emily Henry books? No. Did I love this video? YES.
Not you trauma dumping me again by showing me again those colleen hoover quotes....
IM SO SORRY
Lake Michigan isn't dirty (most of the time 😅.) IT IS VAST AMD COLD AND BEAUTIFUL
Hilarious. Love it. ❤
She is wearing the batgirl outfit from the 60s tv show not a Batman outfit. 🤓
thank you! i'm unfortunately not up on my batman lore
I adore you
my campy 😫😫😫 lmk if u wanna borrow my funny story copy
Wait how do i have an emily book named people we meet on vacation?! Is this just people we meet on vacation?,
Its the same book but they changed the title for some reason
I didnt like happy place, but booklovers is a 5 star. I want badass women.
Target audience sooo reached. Like Emily’s mother
"Her rolemodel parents breaking up" they didnt break up her dad died 😭
BYE WHY DID I FORGET THAT 😭 like SO sorry my fault 😔
You are so quietly funny. I love you to death and I just met you 😆
Side note: I caught my 11 year old sister reading It Ends With Us in 2020 because of booktok 😭 Mom had no clue because of the flowery cover
Added on Goodreads!
omg thank you 🤍
i want to be your best friend
I watched the entire video but I love how I totally disagree with your rating tho haha no hate just so amazing how even tho we both love Emily Henry our opinions are completely different
omg my opinions on her books are the opposite of yours, people we meet on vacation was fun to read but the plot irritated me so much, like wdym ur constantly drooling over eachother while ur w other people?+ the solution didnt make any sense, that girl would never be happy living in the place she absolutely hates. (lol sorry for this little rant, the plot just really made me so mad, i really enjoyed ur video tho, i find it honestly surprising that ur channel isnt that big yet)
i am from ohio and would love to text you
BYE
5 stars. lost potential since this wasn't five hours
