Funny Guy by Emma Barry

emotional reflective

4.0

Contemporary adult romance. Sam is a famous comedian who just broke his engagement with a pop star.  She releases a single called "Lost Boy" that is very much  about him and his faults.  Trying to avoid the paparazzi, he begs his best friend Bree to let him crash at her place.  Though he has done so before, this time it feels different.

Bree loves having Sam over, because she loves him.  But it is getting harder and harder to watch her childhood best friend self destruct.  But as they spend more time together in her NY apartment, she wonders if maybe she was wrong about Sam's feelings.

 I like stories where people have a shared past and that helps them bond in the present.  This story of friends to lovers was well done, with Sam's fame adding an extra dimension.  It was interesting to go behind the scenes at an SNL type comedy show.
