Funny Story by 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 at the local library (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. 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? When: November 20, 2025 at 2 PM (Please note time change!) ALSO AVAILABLE IN LARGE PRINT, AUDIO, & EREAD FORMATS. For those in the area, the Stockton Public Library has a great selection of titles that might inspire her next adventure.
