Disclaimer, I love everything that Will Schwalbe writes, so I have a bias.

In this, the author writes about an unusual friendship that never would have happened if they hadn’t been in the same club at college. After school and over many years, the two stay friends, even though they each have wildly different lifestyles.

The lesson is that you never know who will be your best friend—and this is exciting.
