Title: Funny Story
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?
Prepare for gushing review.
First let me say that I don’t think there is a book by this author that I don’t love!
Daphne has found herself dumped and homeless in a town where she knows no one and finds herself living with her ex’s new flames ex. Comprende?!
~ Friends to lovers
~ Fake dating
~ Roomates
~ Opposites attract
That’s all you need to know apart from my feelings about Miles Miles, oooh Miles. How I love thee! He is EVERYTHING I want in a book boyfriend
If you want a romance where you are so emotionally invested that you want to shout from the rooftops about how much you love the characters….then this is your book!
