In Funny Story, exes Poppy and Alex find themselves sharing a lake house after they both get dumped by their respective partners, who are now engaged. They strike a deal to pretend to be a couple at a wedding to make their exes jealous and to prove they’re not as heartbroken as they seem. As they spend time together, they navigate their complicated feelings and discover if this setup might actually lead to something real.

Jamie’s review

This was my first Emily Henry book! A very cute, easy breezy beach read type of book. Or as some say, a “potato chip book.” Honestly, it was okay. Pretty predictable and a little slow for my liking.

I did not love the FMC Daphne until the very end. I could not understand what the MMC Miles saw in her, she was a self described lazy complainer and social pariah. FUN! But she redeems herself by the end. Kind of. Miles is MUCH more likable than she is.

I don’t know, I think I need more going on in a story line. It fell a little flat for me. I heard they are doing a screen adaptation though and I will 100% watch it.
