Funny Story
Set over one sizzling summer, Funny Story by Emily Henry is a shimmering, joyful novel about the happily-ever-after that wasn't and the exes determined to make the best of it. From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Happy Place and Book Lovers, this delightful story explores the unexpected connections that arise from heartbreak and the hilarity that often accompanies the healing process.
Daphne has always cherished the way Peter recounted their shared story, romanticising their relationship even in its portrayal. However, the narrative she adored became the backdrop to Peter's true love story with his childhood best friend, Petra. Heartbroken and needing a fresh start, Daphne finds herself sharing a living space with Miles, Petra's ex-boyfriend, and her complete opposite. Despite their differences, Miles is the only one who can truly understand Daphne’s predicament.
Initially, their cohabitation is far from ideal, lacking harmony or common ground. Yet, one tequila-fueled night sparks an unexpected plan between the two. They decide to post deliberately misleading photos of their adventures together, crafting an illusion for the outside world. Their playful deception is simply a cover, of course, and there's no way Daphne would actually open her heart to Miles, despite the magnetic pull between them.
Funny Story is a testament to the complexities of modern relationships and the unpredictable paths to self-discovery. Daphne’s journey is filled with humour, heartache, and a resonance that speaks to anyone who has ever had to rebuild their life from scratch. Emily Henry skilfully blends wit and warmth, creating a story that is as poignant as it is entertaining.
This novel is perfect for fans of romantic comedies and those who enjoy a hearty laugh amidst the trials of life and love. Funny Story promises to be a delightful read that captures the essence of starting over and finding love in the most unexpected places.
