Funny Story

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Named a Most Anticipated book of 2024 by TIME ∙ The New York Times ∙ Goodreads Entertainment Weekly ∙ Today ∙ Paste ∙ SheReads ∙ BookPage Woman's World ∙ The Nerd Daily and more!

A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it...right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.

Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children's librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles Nowak.

Scruffy and chaotic--with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads--Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she's either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?

But it's all just for show, of course, because there's no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé's new fiancée's ex...right?

The relationship between Daphne and her dad just got me at the heart.

Lots of fun about an unlikely relationship that was meant to be, as off casts from their exes. The jettisoned partners come into their own. I did feel that the old exes came across as too cardboard. And the trauma of the Dad on one side, and the masochistic Mom on the other side, was way too overwrought. But I enjoyed the couple at the center of it all, as well as the townspeople and friends.

Romance novels are dependable and I go into them knowing the formula but sometimes there’s just little pieces of the story (or quotes) that make me love them. So here’s a couple of them from this one.

“…every time I dole out a kernel of my history to someone who’s not a fixture in my life, a piece of me gets carried away, somewhere I can never get it back…You can’t unsay those delicate truths once you learn you can’t trust the person you handed them to.”

Ashleigh talking to Daphne about settling… “There’s steadiness and dependability, and those are great. But settling? Just deciding you already know everything you like and dislike on the entire planet, everything you’re good at, every friend you’re going to make, and every food you’re ever going to eat?“

Don’t settle.

Did this book wreck me? Yea. Yea it did.
My only issue and warning is the smut. At least 3 occurrences, which.. thankfully is easy to see coming and easy to skip past. Do I recommend this? Not really. It seemed to lack depth but did make me cry several times.
