Set against the backdrop of Atlanta’s top fictional HBCU, Hunter College, *The Funny Thing About Love* delivers a steamy, soulful Black romantic comedy with serious emotional depth. Bestselling author Miles Morris returns for his ten-year reunion only to face Alice Lewis—the brilliant ex who shattered his heart. But Alice’s picture-perfect life has crumbled: her marriage to NFL star Derick Pennington is over, and she’s back under the roof of her formidable father, Judge Charles Lewis. Just days before the reunion, Miles drops a tell-all novel inspired by their college flame, igniting a firestorm across campus and social media. As buried feelings reignite, Alice must wrestle with a hidden truth that could upend everything—including the secret about a child Miles never knew existed. Raw, messy, tender, and laugh-out-loud funny, this is a modern Black love story about heartbreak, healing, second chances, and the secrets that define who we are.
