Funny Story, Emily Henry newest summer romance, is about two people -- Daphne and Miles -- who move in together after their childhood-best-friend exes, Peter and Petra, decide to dump them and marry each other instead. Daphne is a children's librarian who moved to Waning Bay, Michigan a little over a year ago to be with her now-ex fiancé Peter because he wanted to buy a house in his hometown. Daphne is reserved in nature and has spent the past year pulled into Peter's orbit. Now, she's now stuck in a place that she's not familiar with and where she has no close friends around. Miles is a guy that Peter never though was good enough for Petra. But he's positive and outgoing and welcomes Daphne into his home and his world when she is soon-to-be homeless following the end of her engagement. The two jilted parties cook up a plan to make their exes jealous by pretending to be a couple, but as Miles shows Daphne around town, it seems like there may be more to it than just a silly scheme to irritate their exes…
