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 was a master storyteller—right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend, Petra.

Stranded in the charming yet unfamiliar town of Waning Bay, Michigan, Daphne finds herself alone but determined. With a dream job as a children's librarian that barely pays the bills, she proposes a desperate plan: to become roommates with the only person who might understand her predicament—Petra's ex, Miles Nowak.

Scruffy, chaotic, and heartbreakingly soulful, Miles is the polar opposite of practical, buttoned-up Daphne. Their coworkers speculate that Daphne is either FBI or in witness protection. While the two initially avoid each other, an unexpected friendship forms as they bond over their shared heartbreak and quirky coping mechanisms.

To distract themselves from their tangled romantic histories, Daphne and Miles embark on a series of summer adventures, documenting their escapades with misleading photos that blur the line between reality and fiction. As their friendship deepens, they discover that sometimes the most meaningful connections are forged in the most unlikely places.

Filled with laughter, love, and the bittersweet beauty of second chances, "Funny Story" is a heartwarming tale of finding friendship, healing, and unexpected romance in the aftermath of heartbreak. Join Daphne and Miles on a journey of self-discovery that proves that sometimes, the greatest adventures begin with the smallest of steps.
