“Funny Story” by Emily Henry

Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “Funny Story” by Emily Henry… Here is what the QBD crew thought:

A shimmering, joyful new novel has hit the shelves with some believing “Funny Story” is set to be Emily Henry’s best romantic piece of literature yet.

Daphne has always fancied how Peter told their love story. How they met, where they fell in love, and how they moved back to his hometown to embark on the rest of their epic journey together. However, their story became more of a prequel to Peter’s actual fairy tale with his childhood best friend, Petra. So, Daphne finds herself stranded in a cramped town and attempts to convince Petra’s heartbroken ex, Miles, to move in as flat mates. Miles is the opposite of Daphne, awkward, goofy, and shy. Until one night on a drunken adventure, a delicate friendship is struck between the two. Miles convinces Daphne to grant the picturesque town one more summer and he will show her everything he loves about it, and if they happen to post deliberately disingenuous photos of their outings together, so be it. But as Daphne starts to fall for the quaint town, she must ask herself is Miles just a side note in her epic love story with Peter, or was Peter, not her prince charming after all?

“Funny Story” has every ingredient a reader could want in a cozy and delightful read with gorgeous characters, a charming township, an unexpected budding romance, and plenty of tricky crossroads that life loves to throw our way.
