I dove into Funny Story by Emily Henry expecting wit and heart, think coffee-date vibes—but Miles and Daphne’s simmer caught me off guard, grinning like an idiot. This guide pinpoints the steamy chapters where their tension warms up, not scorching but spicy enough. Whether you’re into “closed door modification” (fade-to-black fans) or gentle open-door moments, I’ve rated them with peppers for you.

I annotate books for swoons, but here I tracked how Miles’s chill and Daphne’s practicality turned cozy into “oh, nice.” It’s kisses and a kitchen counter cameo, not a firestorm, scaled from zero to five peppers. Your quick map to their sweetest, spiciest beats, Emily Henry turned up the heat just right.

    You put chapter 13 instead of 12.

    Chapter 19 isn’t really level 3 spice

      Totally fair! Spice is subjective, I usually rate anything open-door as a solid 3, but I get that it varies for everyone.

    Description

    A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author 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 (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.

    Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned-up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?

    But it’s all just for show, of course, because 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?
