Funny Story by Emily Henry

I keep saying that I do not read in the Romance genre and Emily Henry keeps proving me wrong. Once again, I read (and returned) this book in just a couple of days. It is that rare--for me--book where you pretty much know exactly what will happen from the get go, but you savor the journey to your known destination, none-the-less. Here are the details. Daphne, a children’s librarian, is dumped by her fiancé early on in the story--and while she moved to Michigan and his home town for him, he doesn't seem like that much of a loss. He molded her into the image he had of her, and she enjoyed it while it lasted, she slowly unfurls who she really is as the story progresses. So she is coping with her broken engagement to Peter, who realized too late that he loved his childhood best friend, Petra, and because Petra moves in with Peter, Daphne moves in with Miles, Petra's ex-fiancé. They are quite different but also companionable, and over time she realizes what an unlikeable classist elitist her ex really is, because Miles is a catch. They are both invited to the quickly thrown together wedding plans of Peter and Petra, and they decide to act as a couple to emulate happiness.
