Funny Story had actually been on my TBR for a bit; I read it at the tail end of the year.
This revolves around Daphne, Miles and of course Petra, Peter and Julia, but really Daphne and Miles are the 2 main characters. Daphne was hopelessly in love with her fiancé, Peter, and everything about their relationship felt perfect—until one day, Peter explained to her that he is in love with his best friend. Daphne, heartbroken, eventually finds a new roommate, Miles, who is ex of his ex-fiance's new fiance's ex (Miles is ex of Peter's new fiance). Miles and Daphne agree to pretend to date each other to get back at their exes and hopefully get them to like them. I'll let you read on to see what happens at the end. It's a quick read, and if light romance is your thing, you'll likely have fun with it. Although it's certainly a contemporary romance, I found the ending a little too predictable. Emily Henry has a talent for the unexpected but I was hoping for a bit more.
