About the Book:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry comes Funny Story, a shimmering and joyful novel about finding love and friendship in the most unexpected places.

Daphne always cherished the way her fiancé, Peter, narrated their love story. How they met on a blustery day, fell in love over an errant hat, and moved to his picturesque lakeside hometown to start their life together. He had a talent for storytelling—until he revealed he was actually in love with his childhood best friend, Petra.

Left stranded in the beautiful town of Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian that barely pays the bills, Daphne proposes an unlikely arrangement: becoming roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament—Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.

Miles is scruffy, chaotic, and has a penchant for heartache love ballads—exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned-up Daphne, whose coworkers speculate she’s either in the FBI or witness protection due to her secretive nature. Despite their differences, the roommates mainly avoid each other until a day of shared sorrow leads to a tenuous friendship and a wild plan. If the plan also involves posting misleading photos of their summer adventures together, who could blame them?

But it’s all just for show, because there’s no way Daphne would start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right? Funny Story is a heartwarming and hilarious tale of moving on, finding joy in unexpected connections, and the beauty of starting over.
