I am in love with both Daphne and Miles, and adored how they came together while also holding on to who they were as "I" rather than "we." Also, Henry once again sets a book in my beloved northern Michigan (Beach Read was also set there.) Ironically, I started this audiobook (read by the amazing, wonderful, spectacular Julia Whelen, as are all the other Henry books I know of, and I beseech everyone to go for the audio when Julia is onboard) as I was jumping on to Delta to check fares for my annual month in Traverse City, so it was Kismet. I got more excited about my trip as Daphne and Miles found hidden beaches, visited Big Bear Dunes and Leelanau wineries (I wish the wine were really as good as they find it to be, but hanging at the wineries is fun regardless) and chatting about "fudgies" (that would be me.) A number of others have recapped the basic story, so I am going to avoid that and keep this short, except to say one thing. The book starts with Daphne being dumped by her fiance after his best friend tells him, at his bachelor party, that she is in love with him and they run off together. Daphne moved to this small town in MI for the now ex and has no real support system since she just notched herself into the ex's life. Most romances would just have her fall in love again and find her new center in her mate, but Henry does not do this. Daphne begins to build an alternate support system and also falls in love. The in-love part is great, and also she is willing to risk the in-love part to define herself separately from her romantic partner and build her other connections. Friends matter, family matters, neighbors matter. This is something that happens in many Henry books and I really love it. Thanks Emily, I look forward to 5-starring your next book a year from now. Daphne and Peter's meet-cute involved her hat blowing off in a park, and it was adorable. Too bad Peter has now jilted Daphne on the night of his bachelor party, when he decided that he was actually in love with Petra, his long-time platonic best friend. Daphne had moved to the picturesque town in Northern Michigan where Peter grew up, and now she's out a fiancé and a place to live, since the house is in Peter's name. She still has her dream job (children's librarian), and she's determined not to leave the library in the lurch with a major fundraiser coming up, but as soon as that's over, she's out of there. As a temporary measure, she moves in with Petra's ex-boyfriend Miles, who has a spare bedroom and a really long playlist of very sad songs. Despite the sad songs, Miles is a generally cheerful person and convinces Daphne to give Michigan a try, taking her around to local sites and introducing her to some of the area's characters. She also starts a work friendship, realizing that all of her local friends were actually Peter's friends. Despite her intentions to leave at the end of the summer, she's starting to love her new town. And then she gets Peter and Petra's wedding invite, and in a fit of panic when Peter calls to ask about her RSVP, she tells him that she and Miles are in a relationship. Oops! I've read enough Emily Henry now to expect her to deliver, and so far, she always does. Book Lovers is still my favorite of hers, but this is pretty high on the list (even if I could maybe do some nitpicking about the children's librarian stuff -- but I won't). All in all, a fun romance using the fake boyfriend trope. Fans of the author should not miss out -- and if you're new to Henry, this would be a fine place to start. A million thank yous to Netgalley for this ARC! This is my new Emily Henry favorite. This was sweet, witty, fun, and I am totally biased because I'm a librarian. This was the perfect mix of serious and sweet. I blew through this book, and I'm going to buy it just so I can think about it and love on it more. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: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?

Funny Story straddles the line between romance and women's fiction, doing an excellent job at both. Daphne and Miles are both likable, well-developed characters whose backgrounds are filled with difficult childhoods. Their problems make them seem real and give them depth, while supporting characters add to the narrative as well. Some readers might be put off by the use of marijuana in the story, but none of it is illegal in the context used. While the climax leans towards women's fiction, the conclusion draws the romance to a satisfying close. Overall, Funny Story is an extremely entertaining contemporary romance with characters that grow and change in ways the feel very natural. ( )
