Two very different people coming together with two very different ambitions in life? Then of course you’d get romance! I really enjoyed this it was pretty fun and interesting and I had a lot of fun going through it of course! 5 out of 5 stars!

I stepped out of my comfort zone in choosing this and am so glad I did. It is quirky, witty, fast paced and great fun. A bit of romance, a bit of comedy, a bit of mystery and lots of thrills make for a very enjoyable read.

The East Coast adventures and misadventures of two determined dreamers at the end of the tumultuous 30s in a very entertaining and action-packed romp blessed with a cast of very colorful and unforgettable characters and dazzling verbal pyrotechnics.
Warren Adler was a wonderful American wordsmith and "Funny Boys" might actually be one of his most delightful accomplishments.
A marvellous fictional treat that deserves to be trully enjoyed without any moderation whatsoever 👍👍
Many thanks to Netgalley and Stonehouse for this terrific ARC
