You already know their favorite color, food, and childhood memory, so now it's time to get to the real questions: If I were a seed, would you plant me? Popular TikToker Emma Plowright has curated this collection of outrageous questions, from challenging would-you-rathers to absurd hypotheticals, so you can quiz your partner for hours, and spark conversation-or stir up a (fun) argument. "Which one of my teeth is your favorite?" "If we were both sponges, who would be more absorbent?" "Would you rather be trapped in the body of a snail for one week, or have a snail control your body for one week?" The best conversations start with the weirdest possible questions! This book is a packed with strange, ridiculous, and surprisingly revealing prompts that give couples a playful way to talk, laugh, bicker, and bond, without making it feel like homework. Perfect for date nights, road trips, waiting for your food to arrive, or for bothering someone who is allegedly "trying to relax," this collection turns everyday downtime into time for a chat. Some prompts are absurd, some are chaotic, and some will accidentally reveal a little too much about how your partner's mind works. Inside, readers will find outrageous hypotheticals, impossible choices, mini debates, and rapid-fire prompts designed to spark laughter first and connection second. It's a light, giftable, dip-in-anywhere book for couples who want to feel closer-but would prefer to get there by arguing about something completely ridiculous.
