After moving to her fiancé Peter's lakeside Michigan hometown, Daphne finds her life upended when Peter decides to leave her days before the wedding for his childhood best friend Petra. Needing a place to stay, Daphne moves in with Petra's ex-boyfriend, Miles, who is completely Daphne's opposite. And no big deal if they happen to post misleading photos to make their exes jealous, because there's no way they would ever actually fall in love.

Emily Henry has become known for her cute romances that give a therapeutic look at how past traumas affect our current relationships. Funny Story had all the witty banter and a decently realistic fake dating trope that would normally hook me in. Yet, although the story was cute, I didn't particularly enjoy Daphne or Miles, individually or together.
