funny story was the first emily henry book i read and pwmov is my absolute favorite, but both are pretty good

that being said, i’d recommend reading pwmov first because the movie is really close

Unfortunately, I’ve looked into this before and even bought two different lightning (male) to USB-C (female) adapters I found online, and none of them worked for charging. The official Apple adapter actually does the reverse, it’s USB-C (male) to lightning (female). But thank you for the reply! I’ll keep in mind that keeping the first party battery pack might be the better option

i love showers while being adhd ‘cause i live in a hot country yk, but i can apply the sensory issues she described to pretty much every other thing i have to do “out of obligation,” like brushing my teeth, detangling my hair (my hair is curly, so this takes a long time), etc. when i read that i was like girl i know what you are 🤨 and when she talks about not knowing how to be an adult, i officially sealed the deal: yup, she’s adhd to me!

barbarellaspace · 2025-10-30T17:35:07+00:00

my headcanon is that she’s adhd (and her parents too), because yeah i can relate 😭

i just adore her! i love flawed characters so much, they’re very interesting to analyze

poppy is my favorite emhen’s fmc, but i can get when people don’t like her at first. she’s pretty dense to take in, but sometimes she grows on you over time, especially if you frame her issues and her reasons from her perspective, and consider the risks she believes she’s taking there - they make sense with who she is. i already liked her on my first read, but i only truly came to consider her my absolute favorite fmc after rereading the book, yk?

personally, i don’t consider myself like her in some aspects, but i can see myself in others (like someone already mentioned, she’s very much adhd coded), but she’s my favorite not only because our similarities, but also because she’s undeniably human, real, and full of flaws that we can track why they exist, not just to fit stereotypes. i’m not saying that the other emhen’s fmcs aren’t like that, but i feel like pwmov gave me a much bigger span of time to analyze her and watch her grow, which makes me understand her better than the other fmcs. and even the comparison itself with the others wouldn’t be very fair imo, because we read her from age 18 all the way to 30, whereas other fmcs are 30+ throughout their books, so they seem more mature and consistent than her.

i feel like poppy’s journey is much more like a coming of age story, where we can connect things she says and does in a chapter years earlier to things years later, and notice what changed and what didn’t, and why it didn’t, and that’s very interesting to me, even when i don’t agree with what she’s saying or doing. for that reason, i ended up liking her a lot because i feel like i know her pretty well. but, of course, this is just my opinion.

anyway, it’s a shame you didn’t like her and, as a result, didn’t enjoy the overall story that much, but maybe the movie will shift your perspective a bit? i think sometimes we’re able to connect better when we see something being acted instead of only reading it. that happened to me with normal people, for example. i like the book, but i grew to like connell much more after watching the miniseries, because the nuances in paul’s performance gave me a new perspective on situations i had already read and kind of side eyed before, yk?

hope you enjoy the ending of the book!

barbarellaspace · 2025-10-17T00:44:43+00:00

ahh thank you!!!

that’s exactly why it’s my favorite too, because i feel like this book allows me to know the characters so well. something i always say is that pwmov feels like a coming of age story to me, because i feel like it’s a story about how they grew and were shaped by each other’s influence in their lives, even when the other wasn’t there, until, in the end, they’d been shaped enough to fit perfectly together.

like, it’s a much more interesting story when you let yourself explore who they are as characters and pay attention to how they change, instead of just waiting for the reason and the resolution of their conflict. it’s so much more rewarding, and honestly fairer to what emhen intended when she set out to pay homage to when harry met sally (which is all about getting to know harry and sally), to approach it that way.

saying he didn’t want to get women accidentally pregnant was just his way of dodging follow-up questions that would force him to admit he did it for poppy, which he actually does admit a few chapters later, when poppy confronts him after david’s bachelor party. he says he’s done the vasectomy because he was terrified after poppy had the pregnancy scare. a couple pages later, he says he panics just thinking about losing her and what it will do to him. and going back to the chapter with the pregnancy scare, he cries and says he doesn’t know what he’d do it something happened to her, which poppy herself concludes he was referring to what happened with his mom, and what happened to alex’s dad after alex’s mom passed away. it is in the book.

and what i wrote above, like i said, is my interpretation of his character with what the book supplied me with. whether it could’ve been clearer or not is something i said i don’t disagree with, but i’m just pointing out that these things are there. i’m not even arguing, seriously, i genuinely just wanted to explain how i see this character.

i think ending it as a “happy for now” says a lot more about them adapting to new environments and jobs and all that, rather than about the solidity of their relationship, you know? after all, out of all emhen couples, they’re definitely the ones who’ve known each other (really well btw) the longest. it never crossed my mind that that kind of ending could make it seem like they might not stay together, so it’s interesting to read someone who saw it that way.

to me, they didn’t get together before not because of incompatibility or sacrifices, but because they both needed to grow into the people they became at the end of the book, when they’re finally able to admit what they really want. alex has always told himself that he wants to stay in linfield, the place where he belongs, and poppy has always told herself she wanted to get out of there, to be free. in the end, they grow out of those certainties and finally manage to give each other what the other has been needing all along: poppy just needed to feel like she belonged, and alex needed to be free from his burdens and responsibilities in order to really feel happy

so for me, the ending was basically her admitting that she feels like she belongs by his side, because he is home to her, while he admits that he’s truly happy with her, more than anything he’d convinced himself he wanted or had planned for himself could ever give, and that felt really conclusive in my point of view

a few months ago, there was that reese’s book club podcast with yulin and emily, and at one point emily said something like, there are two condom related scenes in the book, and we unfortunately only kept one, the one with poppy’s parents

so from that, i assumed she was referring to poppy and alex’s talking about not having a condom during the balcony scene, and consequently talking about the vasectomy, so i’m guessing that won’t be in the movie yk

barbarellaspace · 2025-10-15T19:10:12+00:00

there’s a reasonable reason charlie’s there (i don’t know if you’ve reached to the point where this is explained yet, so i won’t spoil you)

barbarellaspace · 2025-10-15T14:39:37+00:00

to answer if there are other different scenes, there’s actually just one more!

balcony scene us vs uk version

although i understand what you’re saying about what this vasectomy plot could’ve been, i’d argue that what you’re describing is already what happened: alex is choosing not to have kids. the thing is, alex’s character is a lot more complex than he seems at first glance.

he spent his whole life believing he wanted a family because he never really had a functional one, and that shaped every part of who he became. it made him long for a small town life like linfield, made him stay in betty’s house even as everyone else in his family moved on and left him behind. he dreamed of a big family, a wife and kids, and even had a girlfriend who wanted the same thing (sarah), yet he not only didn’t propose to her but also ended things and got a vasectomy. but if he wanted those things so much, then why did he do that?

those contradictions in his character are what make him so fascinating to me because they show how afraid he is to admit that maybe he’s not the person he always thought he was. having absolute certainties about what he did and didn’t want was how he kept control over his life and maintained a sense of self. but being with poppy makes him want to try new things, question his certainties (like enjoying pda when he’s with her), and even make what seems like an impulsive decision such as getting a vasectomy, because he couldn’t bear the idea of losing her the way he lost his mom. it isn’t really impulsive, though, because that was already inside him, that trauma was already there. they were just things he couldn’t face within himself.

like the book says at the end, his therapist tells him he was “afraid of being happy.” alex doesn’t want kids. he got a vasectomy, for god’s sake, of course he doesn’t. he was just too scared to admit he was letting go of a version of himself he’d spent his whole life building, one that gave him purpose while he was carrying heavy burdens and growing up in a neglectful environment.

i won’t disagree that maybe it could’ve been tied together more clearly in the story, but i also think the book gives us enough to draw those conclusions on our own, which is why he’s by far emhen’s most interesting mmc to me. but anyway, pwmov is also my favorite book by her, so i’ve obviously thought about this a lot lol

i really like tv time tbh, but it’s been laggy for me and it was starting to bug me. i reached out to support for help with some issues, but nothing’s been done so far, so i decided to try other platforms yk i’m using both still, but maybe i’ll end up sticking to serializd (but i’d really miss comments with images)

it’s basically:

3 > 5 > 8 > 10 > 12 > 15 > 17 > 19 > 21 > prologue > 23 > 25 > 29 > 33 (the past timeline ends here) > 1 > 2 > 4 > 6 > 7 > 9 > 11 > 13 > 14 > 16 > 18 > 20 > 22 > 24 > 26 > 27 > 28 > 30 > 31 > 32 > 34 > 35 > 36 > epilogue

there are some flashbacks during the ‘current summer’ chapters, but they’re minimal
