AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Named a Most Anticipated book of 2024 by TIME ∙ The New York Times ∙ Goodreads ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Today.com ∙ 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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“When romance novelist Emily Henry releases a new book, it’s nothing short of a literary event. And this spring’s Funny Story—which has already been named one of the most anticipated books of 2024 by everyone from the New York Times to the Today show—is sure to be no exception... this sumptuous novel is Henry at her very best.”—Bustle

“Bestseller Henry takes on fake-dating in this equally poignant and charming tale of love after loss… Henry perfectly balances sorrow and discord with love and humor, and romance fans will appreciate watching the growth of the characters’ relationships and of Daphne as a person. This is a heartwarming take on summer love.”—Publishers Weekly

My favorite book

The real gem is the storyline. Is it just me or is this completely relatable and healing? This was a real story, an incredible story, and had me facing some realities and raw emotions myself I didn’t know I had. So well written I basically transformed into each character as if I was that person. Such a good perspective from the writer to have deep insight into life that it helped raise awareness into my own. Wondering if the author is secretly a self help guru

Emily Henry + Julia Whelan = perfection

Julia Whelan is my absolute favorite narrator. Her voice is like butter and her reading Emily Henry’s books is even better. I loved this fake dating, small town romance. It was heartwarming and funny. Emily Henry has done it again!

Very Entertaining!

I loved the narration of this book. It was spot on what the “voices” sound like when I’m reading to myself.

Emily Henry never fails to disappoint with her story line and character development. I can’t wait until I’m able to read, or listen to, her next great book.

Another Emily Henry great!

Another great one by EH! Loved the characters, Miles make have moved to top 3 of book character crushes he’s so great! Perfect formula for a sweet rom com and with EH there is a lot of COM with the ROM which I particularly love. Paired with Julia Whalen and we have another perfect hit!

Narrator killed it

whatever the audiobook equivalent is of “could not put it down.” narrator did an amazing job with the dialogue and inflections

Amazing

Great book. Wonderful cast of characters. Has an excellent plot, keeps you hooked.
I highly recommend this book.

The twist between Miles and Daphne

I loved the story. I loved how twisted it was but at the same time how it kept me on edge.

Fantastic narration

Emotions and dysfunction seemed realistically related. Daphne's humor was appropriate and refreshing. Liked setting in Michigan and focus on a real library.

Best decision ever!!!

love love love everything about it. The story, the development, the emotions, the narration, everything!!! I'm gonna recommend this to everyone.

Another great one!

Everything you’d expect from an Emily Henry classic. Julia Whelan is THE BEST, as always.
