Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Funny and Interesting
I was expecting to hear the same ole' same ole', but was pleasantly surprised at the creativity put into some of these questions. It had me laughing out loud several times, and I learned quite a bit. Not sure that I'll ever use what I learned, but nonetheless, I can tell you why we have 2 nostrils :)

Full of information
This was a delightful book filled with literally random facts and interesting stories! I found that this book was great when working with the kids that I worked with and sparked engaging conversation. Because it’s of the structure too, I like that each chapter or fact could be read on it’s own and I could really pick up the book whenever I felt like it or keep reading if for longer if that what I felt that day. I also liked that this book made me think of things that I’ve usually never pondered before about our world.
