Like reminiscing with an old friend at a high school reunion, Luck Favors the Prepared gives the reader a look back at memorable events that have shaped the author’s life. It’s written in a way that made me feel nostalgic for growing up in the suburbs when high school kids were lucky to make $5 an hour and the biggest humiliation was wearing a marching band uniform. At times I laughed so hard I cried. I hope Nathaniel Barber keeps writing because I would love to read more by this author.
