Out of a blackout, Nathan and his best friend, Riley, find themselves on a road trip down the west coast with two complete strangers. Continuing to party, she and Nathan tug back and forth with the other's emotions on a journey to figure out their feelings for each other amidst alcohol and other confusion. Preview Of The First Chapter: It may be the burn of the vodka traveling down my insides, but a flutter of excitement spreads across my chest and out to the rest of my body as she smiles. "How ridiculous are we?" she asks, her smile still painted across her voluminous lips. She puts down her shot glass and proceeds to pour another shot. I place my shot glass on the rickety table next to hers, so she can refill mine as well. Riley grabs the full shot glasses from the table and hands one to me. "It's your turn. What's this to?" The spark in her eye spreads across her face in a glimmer. I can't get over how beautiful she looks. Time doesn't seem to exist in this dimension, our dimension. A tickling sensation proliferates across my back, reminding me not to get lost in my emotions. I knock my shot glass against hers and lean in towards her glowing auburn eyes and her tiny wave of a nose. "To prefunking dinner!" I throw back the vodka and let the liquid cool my insides a couple degrees. "I'm pretty sure we've said that one four times already. Come on, Nathan..." Riley's knees press into my thighs. She turns toward me and leans her smirking lips closer, whether to kiss me or to bite me is unclear. She hovers at this distance with her sandy hair falling on her cheeks. "You're more creative than that. Come up with a better one." I pour more poison into our glasses, spilling some of the cherished liquor onto the floor while I maintain her eye contact. I wish her eyes would stop their dazzling. "To the most attractive person ever." I watch as she bites her bottom lip in an effort not to grin. Her eyes flutter between mine. I can't let her have the satisfaction of knowing she has me. That will end our game of tug o' war and neither of us wants that. "Me," I say. I let the alcohol flow down into my stomach and eye Riley as she does the same. . . .

The book that has intoxicated a generation—and has sold over 500,000 copies—is back!

Party games have been played and enjoyed by children for years. This book contains some favourites that have been played for centuries as well as some with modern twists and ideas of how to adapt games for a variety of ages and interests. There are also new games that are linked to modern times. Some games are more suitable for outdoor areas rather than a confined indoor space but most can just be adapted slightly to suit the venue. There are also a variety of games such as quiet games, active games, treasure hunts, team games, balloon games and a selection of others. The games include both competitive and non competitive games. Most people today recommend that the majority of games are non competitive so that children do not become disappointed or upset. Team games can encourage children to work together and support each other if a child is challenged and not coping with the activity. Although a winner might be declared it is usually a good idea to have a small prize for everyone. Awarding points for games is one way of avoiding constantly giving out small presents. Points can be collated and then everyone given a party bag when it is time to go home so that no one leaves empty handed. It could also be agreed at the beginning of a party that prizes can be shared such as a box of small treats as a prize for a treasure hunt.
