🌼 Funny Story by Emily Henry – Extended Summary
Daphne Vincent thinks she’s about to start her happily-ever-after with her fiancé Peter in the charming lake town of Waning Bay, Michigan. She’s just moved there, given up her life in Kansas City, and is ready to build a future. But within weeks, everything falls apart—Peter tells her he’s in love with his childhood best friend, Petra (who also happened to be Daphne’s friend).
Now dumped, heartbroken, and alone in a town where she knows no one, Daphne is left without a place to live—until she ends up moving in with Miles Nowak, Petra’s ex-boyfriend.
🏠 Living Together as Strangers
Miles and Daphne are complete opposites:
- Daphne is organized, polite, and cautious.
- Miles is chaotic, goofy, and emotionally open.
They don’t really like each other at first—but they get each other. They’ve been through the same emotional betrayal. As roommates, they clash and banter, but also slowly open up to one another.
To save face and lighten the mood, they start faking a relationship on social media—posting pictures and little updates that suggest they’ve moved on and are happily dating each other. It’s funny. It’s petty. And then… it starts to feel real.
💘 From Fake to Real
As time goes on, Daphne and Miles:
- Share vulnerable conversations
- Support each other through awkward social encounters with their exes
- Develop genuine affection and attraction
Their bond becomes more than a friendship. It becomes healing, intimate, and romantic. Daphne, who always followed the “right” path, begins to question what she truly wants—not just in love, but in life.
