Funny Story by Emily Henry
This romance novel was a quick read, as I got totally caught up in the story. Daphne moved to Michigan from Vermont with her fiancé Peter, finding a dream job as a children's librarian in the small town. As the novel opens, Peter returns from his bachelor party only to inform her that he is in love with his female best friend Petra, a tall blonde elegant woman that he's always assured Daphne is just a friend. They are leaving for a couple of weeks to give Daphne time to find a new place to live and move out. Daphne is shattered, and the next person to appear at her door is equally shattered, Petra's boyfriend Miles. So Daphne decides that she will move in with him and he agrees.
At first they grieve their losses separately, but another shared dig at their loss brings them together, Daphne makes a questionable choice in deception, and Miles offers to show her around this area of Michigan, which she hasn't really explored. Daphne also begins interacting more with her co-workers, starting with her adult librarian counterpart Ashleigh.
I could relate to the librarian side of things, and feel for the sudden change of heart of Daphne's fiancé. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the outings that Miles and Daphne took as they explored the area, and loved Ashleigh's character. The author has written another satisfying and fun-filled read that is great to curl up with and immerse oneself in.
