All of Emily Henry’s Books, From Most to Least Spicy 🌶️
Note: While there’s not an official “spice-o-meter” for Emily Henry’s best-selling romance novels, our ranking reflects the most common consensus by fans and readers!
1. Funny Story: This novel about a fake dating relationship (made up of two people whose exes cheated on them with each other) is one of Henry’s spiciest adult books, with multiple long and detailed intimate scenes.
2. Great Big Beautiful Life: This romance/historical fiction novel about two rival writers competing to write an exclusive biography comes in at a close second to Funny Story, as it also has a number of lengthy and descriptive intimate scenes.
3. Book Lovers: This meta, enemies-to-lovers novel about a literary agent clashing with an editor in a small town is slightly less spicy than the first two stories listed, although it still contains some descriptive intimate scenes.
4. Beach Read: This novel is about a romance novelist and literary author helping each other through mutual writer's block, and while it’s still spicy and exciting, it only contains about one or two “open-door” intimate scenes.
5. People We Meet on Vacation: Like Beach Read, this novel about two opposites-attract best friends who take annual summer vacations together features a lot of tension, but only one or two detailed intimate scenes.
6. Happy Place: This novel about two recent ex-fiancés who pretend to be together for the sake of their annual friend-cation is Henry’s least spicy. While it has intimate scenes, they’re described as “fade to black” scenes without much explicit detail.
