#BookReview: This Will Be Funny Someday by Katie Henry

Synopsis: A girl walks into a bar… then onto a stage, and up to the mic.

Sixteen-year-old Izzy is used to keeping her thoughts to herself—in school, where her boyfriend does the talking for her, and at home, where it’s impossible to compete with her older siblings and high-powered parents—but when she accidentally walks into a stand-up comedy club and performs, the experience is surprisingly cathartic. After the show, she meets Mo, an aspiring comic who’s everything Izzy’s not: bold, confident, comfortable in her skin. Mo invites Izzy to join her group of friends and introduces her to the Chicago open mic scene.

The only problem? Her new friends are college students—and Izzy tells them she’s one, too. Now Izzy, the dutiful daughter and model student, is sneaking out to perform stand-up with her comedy friends, and she can hardly remember all the lies she’s telling to keep her two lives separate.

Her controlling boyfriend is getting suspicious, and her former best friend knows there’s something going on. But Izzy loves comedy and this newfound freedom. As her two parallel lives collide—in the most hilarious of ways—Izzy must choose to either hide what she really wants and who she really is or, finally, truly stand up for herself.

Rating: 4 Stars
My Review: "This Will Be Funny Someday" is a good read for fans of contemporary YA looking for a story with humor and heart. Despite its pacing issues and occasional lack of character depth, it offers a relatable and inspiring tale of finding one's voice and the courage to use it. The romantic subplot, while adding an extra dimension to Isabel's journey, sometimes feels underdeveloped and predictable. It doesn't detract significantly from the main narrative but also doesn't add as much depth as it could have.
