Funny Story

In this romantic novel, Daphne’s engagement falls apart when her fiancé admits he’s in love with his childhood best friend, Petra. Now living alone in Petra’s hometown with a low-paying librarian job, Daphne unexpectedly becomes roommates with Petra’s ex, Miles. Daphne is organized and reserved, while Miles is messy and emotional—complete opposites with one painful heartbreak in common.

At first, they keep their distance. But as they gradually open up, a friendship forms. Together, they come up with a playful plan to post photos suggesting they’re having fun—and maybe even seeing each other—to show their exes they’ve moved on. What begins as pretending slowly turns into something real.

The story follows Daphne as she lets go of her past, learns to trust herself, and discovers that the next chapter of her life may start exactly where she least expected—with Miles.
