About this listen

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ A shimmering, joyful novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2024

Named a Must-Read Book of 2024 by TIME ∙ NPR ∙ ELLE ∙ Parade ∙ Woman’s World and more!

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?

Critic reviews

“This book pulls out all of Henry’s signature stops: sparkling banter, thoughtfully rendered family trauma and a charming community of side characters."—The New York Times

“Emily Henry has made a name for herself as among the hottest romance writers in the game right now.”—People

Funny Story is Henry’s latest romance—and her steamiest one so far. It’s a mixture of will-they-won’t-they in a way that makes you really want them to. They’re the protagonists in separate love stories who are brought together by heartbreak. Daphne and Miles are characters you can empathize with and root for.”—Associated Press

Editorial Review

Emily Henry’s best yet
April showers bring … another new novel from Emily Henry. For the fifth year in a row, Henry warms up the spring season with a heartfelt romance set in a dreamy locale featuring an unlikely pair. Daphne’s fiancé dumps her for his childhood best friend, Petra. Daphne decides to move in with Petra’s jilted ex, Miles, fake dating each other to make the new couple jealous—but it quickly turns into something more. Henry’s knack for writing relatable characters while balancing romantic love with relationships between friends and siblings adds even more joy to this beautiful story. Julia Whelan delivers another flawless performance, bringing the unforgettable cast of Funny Story to life. I think this one might be Henry’s best yet! —Margaret H., Audible Editor

I don’t know what it is about her voice but Julia just became my new favorite narrator! The book was amazing but I was hooked the second the book starting playing because her voice is mesmerizing, couldn’t recommend this enough!

Amazing!

Even though I knew from the beginning how I thought it would turn out, it was still exciting and had enough unexpected parts that left me not being able to turn it off. Loved the friendship story and family one as well as the love story. Delicious tension throughout. Great reading by the narrator!

Sweet love story

Miles Nowak absolutely has my heart!! Everything about this story was just amazing. This was funny, heartfelt, angsty, emotional, just overall an incredible listening experience. I absolutely loved Daphne‘s character and Miles was absolutely swoon worthy and completely stole my heart.

I had a mostly continuous sh*t eating grin on my face during the entirety of this book—when I wasn’t tearing up, that is. Witty and completely adorable. I loved it more than I anticipated.

The Rom-Com I didn’t know I needed.
