Free Audio Book : Funny Story, By Emily Henry

Daphne cherished the narrative of their love story, as told by her betrothed, Peter. Their meeting (on a gusty day), their falling in love (over a misplaced hat), and their decision to relocate to his hometown by the lake to start their life together. Peter was a master storyteller, until he discovered his true feelings for his childhood friend, Petra.

This is where Daphne’s new tale begins: Alone in the picturesque Waning Bay, Michigan, without any friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely covers her expenses), and suggesting to share a living space with the only person who could possibly comprehend her situation: Petra’s former partner, Miles Nowak.

Miles, unkempt and disorderly, finds comfort in the melodies of heartbreak love songs. He is the complete antithesis of the practical, composed Daphne, who is so mysterious to her colleagues that they speculate she’s either an FBI agent or in witness protection. The roommates mostly keep to themselves, until one day, they form a fragile bond and a scheme while nursing their heartaches. If this scheme involves sharing misleading pictures of their shared summer escapades, well, who could fault them?

But of course, it’s all a facade, because there’s no way Daphne would actually embark on her new journey by falling for her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?
