Foul-mouthed up-and-coming comedian Farley Jones gets her big break with one catch—she has to fake date her manager, the perpetually frowning Meyer, good friend, former star comic, and hot, older single dad, for publicity. The dating may (or may not) be fake but the mutual pining is all too real in this steamy friends-to-lovers story! I loved the stand-up show biz setting, the Deaf representation, and ALLLL the feels, funny and otherwise, this smart, sexy romance puts in the spotlight.

Funny Feelings is a sweet romance between Farley a stand up comedian and Meyer her best friend/manager who is a single dad (and former stand up comedian). I decided to give this book a chance after seeing it pop up all over the place as one of the most underrated romances of 2022. While this book wasn’t quite the smash hit for me as it was for others- it left me wanting more out of the story. That being said I enjoyed this book it was a solid read. This book hit lots of tropes- single dad, workplace, friends to lovers, and fake dating but I think it could’ve been stronger focusing in on two of those. I still would recommend this book for anyone looking for some sweetness.

A fellow book club member has been campaigning to get everyone to read this for so long and I’m glad I finally did! 
  • Friends to lovers
  • Workplace romance (but they work in comedy so not an office setting)
  • Deaf representation 
  • Dad with a kid love interest
  • Fake dating setup kind of? they clearly love each other from the start so it didn’t feel very fake date-y to me, which is good cause it’s not my fav trope
  • So freaking funny- like yes it’s a book about comedians but it’s actually really laugh out loud funny
  • Has the taking care of when sick trope

The authors note says she wrote this book for anyone who had ever felt “too much” and there were parts of this book that just hit so hard. Just please read it. It will make you squeal with joy, and give you all the feels.
