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.

I did not expect a book about two stand up comedians to be so heart wrenching or lovely, but this book managed it. Pace wise it did drag a little, and there were a few times I was confused about whether we were in the past or present and had to go check, but overall lovely. I loved Farley in particular and wish I could hear her tight five.

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.
