AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

A
New York Times Notable Book of 2024

Named a Must-Read Book of 2024 by
TIME ∙ NPR ∙ ELLEWoman’s World 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?

Critic reviews

“This book pulls out all of Henry’s signature stops: sparkling banter, thoughtfully rendered family trauma and a charming community of side characters."—The New York Times

“Emily Henry has made a name for herself as among the hottest romance writers in the game right now.”—People

Funny Story is Henry’s latest romance—and her steamiest one so far. It’s a mixture of will-they-won’t-they in a way that makes you really want them to. They’re the protagonists in separate love stories who are brought together by heartbreak. Daphne and Miles are characters you can empathize with and root for.”—Associated Press

Editorial Review

Emily Henry’s best yet
April showers bring … another new novel from Emily Henry. For the fifth year in a row, Henry warms up the spring season with a heartfelt romance set in a dreamy locale featuring an unlikely pair. Daphne’s fiancé dumps her for his childhood best friend, Petra. Daphne decides to move in with Petra’s jilted ex, Miles, fake dating each other to make the new couple jealous—but it quickly turns into something more. Henry’s knack for writing relatable characters while balancing romantic love with relationships between friends and siblings adds even more joy to this beautiful story. Julia Whelan delivers another flawless performance, bringing the unforgettable cast of Funny Story to life. I think this one might be Henry’s best yet! —Margaret H., Audible Editor

Likable characters, witty banter and so well written. Julia Whelan is my favorite narrator as she really carries the story with all the voices and emotion. I highly recommend this love story that has all the feels.

Best yet!

I loved the whole book but , I really appreciated the self reflection the main character faced. She faced her weakness and rather than accepting it as her fate , she changed her own behavior! Also, I’m a Michigander, so there’s that😁

Emily delivers again

Emily Henry is my favorite romance author - she gives you characters you can root for, a believable yet cute storyline, tons of laugh out loud humor, but can also make you cry like a baby. You go through all the emotions and somehow, you’re left both giddy and bawling at the end. I love her. I love this story and it’s not my last time listening to it. Much like everything she ever wrote.
