Funny Story - Emily Henry

Two Breakups. One Apartment. Zero Chill.

From #1 bestselling author Emily Henry comes Funny Story—a fresh, smart, and emotionally resonant rom-com that proves sometimes the wrong person makes the right story.

Daphne and Miles are newly dumped by their respective partners—who left them for each other. Forced into a shared living situation out of necessity, the two couldn’t be more different: she’s structured, he’s chaotic; she’s heartbroken, he’s oddly... fine? But somewhere between shared pizza, passive-aggressive notes, and midnight heart-to-hearts, a genuine connection begins to bloom.

And when they decide to fake-date for petty revenge? Well, things get even messier—and more meaningful—than they ever expected.
