This is a book to prepare you for all of the best-case scenarios in life... such as if an ATM starts randomly dispensing too much money, if you win the lottery, or if your teenaged child is suddenly nice to you. It contains helpful diagrams as well (how to hide large quantities of cash in your sweater if you come across that faulty ATM, or how to pat your nice teenaged child down since the only reason they're kind is probably because they're stoned.)

Technically, 3.5 stars. If such a thing existed. Which according to Goodreads, doesn't. But anyway, parts of it were really funny and I caught myself laughing out loud, but other ones were homorous but not as funny. Overall, good beach read :)
this book will throughly prepare you for all those good things in life. like if you win an Oscar or get to blackmail someone. or meet an angel. its pretty cool
Some of the scenarios were really funny, like the ATM one, but some of the other scenarios were just ok.
A small book of humor for your entertainment.
