Emily Henry is back to brighten your summer with her newest, heartwarming novel, Funny

Story. Children’s Librarian Daphne Vincent finds herself heartbroken with no family or real

friends in Waning Bay, Michigan after her ex-fiancé, Peter, leaves her for his childhood friend.

With only her wonderful job going for her, she begrudgingly moves in with her ex-fiancé’s new

fiancée’s ex, Miles. To make matters more complicated, Daphne gets flustered when Peter calls

about his upcoming wedding and she finds herself telling Peter she is now dating Miles and they

will be at the wedding together. Miles is happy to play along if only to make their exes

uncomfortable.

Daphne and Miles begin as unexpected roommates, but as the fog of their heartbreak lifts,

friendship develops as Miles takes Daphne on Sunday dates to show her his favorite spots in

Waning Bay. With the help of Miles and new friends at the library, Daphne rebuilds a life for

herself and learns to love the community and all it has to offer.

Funny Story is indeed a funny and feel-good story that I did not want to end. Daphne and

Miles’ story is predictable but gratifying. The underlying friendship and unlikely connection

enhance their own story at every turn. Funny Story is the perfect summer, beach read. Not only

does this book capture your attention within the first few pages and keep you entertained

throughout, but Henry’s signature bright inviting cover will make you want to pick it up off the

shelf.
