Funny Story

De: Emily Henry

Narrado por: Julia Whelan

A shimmering, joyful novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Emily Henry

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it...right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.

Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children's librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles Nowak.

Scruffy and chaotic-with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads -Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she's either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?

But it's all just for show, of course, because there's no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé's new fiancée's ex...right?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Emily Henry at her absolute best. Warm, sexy and beautifully written. I adored it (Beth O'Leary)

I'm officially in my Emily Henry era and I never want to leave. She is the queen of heartwarming contemporary romance (Mia Sheridan)

Emily Henry never misses (iNews)

She's back! (Cosmopolitan)

Funny, warm, emotionally stirring and sexy, Emily Henry is an author I keep returning to (Bolu Babalola)

Julia Whelan brings this alive.

This is the first Emily Henry book that I actually really enjoyed. It was narrated by Julia Whelan and she really nails it. Her narration is amazing. The story was good, with both the main characters with things from their past that put a bit of a spanner in the works, preventing a straight forward romance. I will only try another Emily Henry book if Julia Whelan narrates it!

Funny story

I liked so much this audio. Amazing book and the narration was really good. I wish miles had his own voice tho

Beautiful beautiful read

I love the characters so much. The story is quite predictable but fun
I enjoyed it overall

A funny story indeed

I found myself shouting out loud at Daphne . What a fun book. Rollercoaster of emotions. Was not quite sure how it would end. A lovely read. Thank you.

Loved it!

It accompanied me on my commutes to work and I got lost in it. The narrating was excellent!

didnt want to put it down

Loved this story, the characters really came too life, The emotional journeys felt real and their experiences vivid. Made me think about my own life experiences and relationships in a new way.

Hmm...ok i guess

I dont know, although there are parts of it that makes one feel bad for Daphne, the overall
plot is a little generic for my liking? Nothing stands out. It's like the issue could've been done in a couple of days, not necessarily for as long as it took. If only people say what they mean in the first place.
