Daphne’s life is upended when her fiancé dumps her for his lifelong best friend, Petra. With no place to stay and no friends of her own, Daphne is left stranded in a town she only came to for the future her now ex-fiancé, Peter, promised her. Thankfully, Daphne is not the only one put out by this newfound love.
Petra’s now ex-boyfriend, Miles, is devastated by this drastic change. Miles is also in dire need of a roommate. Which is how Daphne and Miles move in together. When Daphne shares her plans to leave town once a work obligation ends, Miles is shocked. He loves where he lives and wants to show Daphne all it has to offer, plus they’re now stuck in a fake dating scheme to show Peter and Petra how much better they’re doing without them.
Emily Henry proves once again she’s a leader of the romance genre with her latest book, Funny Story Daphne and Miles both leap off the page with their feelings, flaws, and lifestyles. When two people live a life for their partners, and not themselves, what do they have left when they’re gone? Emily Henry artfully answers this question and many more as Daphne and Miles explore life on their own and occasionally, with each other.
