Funny Story by Emily Henry - A Wonderful Story

 
💖💖💖💖💖/5

Funny Story by Emily Henry is a romance, somewhat comedic story about overcoming heartbreak, feeling lost, and finding answers when one least expects it.  There are themes of opposites attract, roommates turned best friends to lovers, and pretending to dating/fake dating, within this story.

 

Daphne Vincent, children’s librarian and Miles Nowak is an easy-going bartender with like three other side jobs, join forces when her fiancé Peter leaves her for his best friend and girlfriend of Miles, Petra. Daphne needs to move out of Peter’s home but has nowhere to go. Ironically, she turns to Petra’s ex-boyfriend Miles. He offers her a spare bedroom and the two become roommates, forming a friendship over their equally broken hearts. After receiving invitations to Peter and Petra’s wedding, Daphne and Miles decide to pretend they are in a relationship; in order to rub it in their exes' faces.

Exploring the town and area around, Daphne learns there is so much more to Miles than she thought. Spending time together, opening themselves up to each other, their feelings begin to grow, becoming real, and Daphne and Miles must confront past demons before they can move forward; possibly with each other.

 

Ms. Henry brings the fictional town of Waning Bay, Michigan, to life, to a place where I would want to live; with the beaches, wineries, quirky bars, coffee shops, and the library; complete with a cast of lovable and eccentric secondary characters.
