I so badly wanted to love this book. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes, I adored the characters, and I was stoked to see Deaf representation. But my GOD, the pages of monologue in seemingly every chapter drove me insane. It made sense in some instances, like when Fee was spiraling, but for the most part it could’ve been edited down.

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.

4/5🌶️

Not really a climax in this book and the fake dating thing fades away pretty quickly into the book. But it's very good and has good spice lol

Overall a wholesome, quick read featuring friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, and a found family you will fall for. Representation for mental health and the stigma dealt with by comedians -particularly female comedians - in a career where all they seek to do is show others some laughter, yet they are so often met with ridicule. 

My is a well developed character and I enjoyed his journey, and the relationships with his daughter, Hazel. Hazel and Fee’s relationship is a winner from the start, though I was hoping for more growth or exploration of Fee’s story; it felt like a bit of a quick fix at the end then a skip and a hop to the epilogue.

Quotes from comedians prologuing each chapter is a wonderful touch, and foreshadows what is to come in each chapter. The first person dual POV serves this story well, and the time jumps are easy to follow.

When I initially started reading Funny Feelings, I was invested in the story. I like the MCs and loved the banter between them. However, I lost interest in the story about 75% in. The plot started to drag out and I wasn’t as invested in the MCs route to HEA.

Such a fun and heartwarming read!! Get mental health rep here too. If you love romances that have an appropriate age gap, single dad trope, and grumpy/sunshine trope—you’ll love this one!
