Summary

From the author of Chick Magnet comes a heartfelt friends-to-lovers story about what can happen when a funny guy and his childhood best friend are stuck together in a small New York City apartment.

Sam can’t escape the smash hit “Lost Boy” because, well, he is the lost boy. His pop-singer ex immortalized him in a song about his childish ways, and now his comedy career is on the line.

At least he still has Bree, his best friend and confidante. Bree has always been there for Sam, but she’s never revealed her biggest secret: she’s in love with him. To help herself move on, Bree applies for her dream job across the country—and doesn’t say a thing to Sam.

But as Sam tries to resuscitate his career, he turns to Bree for support—and maybe more. In the confines of her tiny apartment, they share a different dynamic. A charged dynamic. But she’s his friend. He can’t be falling for her.

Except he is.

Are his feelings for Bree just funny business? Or is their smoldering attraction the real deal?

Critic reviews

“Lucy Rivers and Teddy Hamilton narrate the complicated friends-to-lovers story of Bree and Sam.… Hamilton…differentiates Bree and plays Sam's biting wit against his sweet affection for her.… As Bree decides between her unrequited love for Sam and moving away for a dream job, Rivers steps up her performance to skillfully express Bree's mix of anger and devotion. Part comedy, part therapy session, Funny Guy is definitely best on audio.”AudioFile Magazine

“It’s a tug-of-war that would be hard for a less adept writer to pull off, but Barry’s work has always thrived on this kind of interplay. She seems to be feeling her way to a new kind of structure here, one that’s organic and messy but still generates a vital catharsis.”New York Times

“This ingenious friends-to-lovers romance …[is] a fresh take on a favorite trope that perfectly marries humor and heartache.”Publishers Weekly (starred review)
