Funny Feelings is a standalone romance, or romcom really, that follows the journey of Farley and Meyer. They've known each other for three years, Meyer has been helping Farley on her journey to becoming a famous comedian for nearly as long. When she's finally being offered her big breakthrough tour moment, they recommend creating a bit of drama with a staged romance. Being her best friend, a pretty famous comedian in his own rights, and a little in love with her, Meyer agrees.
This book really surprises me because I don't tend to like it when kids are involved or friends-to-lover stories. But the friends-to-lovers element of this was so well threaded with flashbacks of their three years together that it felt like a natural transition. That's where they typically lose me, with the awkward pacing and the unrealistic chemistry as I think that people can be friends with the same gender that they are attracted to. But Meyer and Farley just feel like they work together really well and that their romantic chemistry was definitely there.
The only issue I had with it really was the other character roles in the book. They could have been developed as a better support network to the characters to really give depth to their lives, I felt the situation was supposed to be representing larger life events without giving us any insight into any other personal relationships. Other than that though, super cute and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a feel good romance.
