About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A shimmering, joyful novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1
New York Times and Sunday 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?

Loved it! 😄♥️

Although a bit cliched, the way it’s been written doesn’t sound like one. Very interesting story telling. I loved listening to it.

LOVED IT!

Didn't know a book named "Funny Story" would make me sob so much. It just took me on so many emotional rollercoasters. I love it.

Definitely not a funny story

The title doesn’t justify. I thought it was a romcom. But I loved the book. It hurts to see how Daphne’s life changes. And I hate Peter for leaving Daphne. But when unexpected love meets Daphne in the form of Miles, I couldn’t stop being happy. Daphne and Miles, you guys are meant together. Miles should be happy that Petra left him 😉. Being the first audio book I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The banter between the two protagonists ❤️

Really cute plot with the right amount of humour and spice. ❤️ Also serious golden retriever energy with the male lead😂

Funny story is heartbreaking heartthrob

The story is of two innocent people together in a breakup finding ways to forget the grief and loss but time has a fast healing in a witty and most engaging way love finds them and they find life worth living.
