My SO and I each gifted each other the same book, that neither of us had read before, completely on a whim.

Did one of you cut your hair to buy the other a new watch chain, while the other sold a watch chain to buy a fancy hair comb as a gift?
One got the hardcover. One got the soft. Cute gifts.
Adorable! Have a mini book club and share your thoughts as you read!
The good news is the 10th anniversary edition has even more cool stuff in it so once you’ve read one, read the other!
He’s also been animating some of the stories: [https://www.youtube.com/@xkcd_whatif](https://www.youtube.com/@xkcd_whatif)
HA, NERDS! 😉
Great gift if you know someone will like it, I’ve gifted it before as well.
Sacred nerd pairing. Enjoy each other for many years to come.
Ironically, when my SO and I moved in together many years ago and consolidated our books, this was the ONLY book we both owned. And we each had decent book collections for a city apartment. The only difference was mine was paperback and his was hardcover – exactly like this!
When your that in tune with each other you know the relationship is gonna work out
Real advice, OP: return one of them and buy volume 2
That’s great for the author!
that reminds me of the year my husband got me a kitchen aid mixer and I got him a cricut and they were both the exact same color. we both still use those gifts frequently!
Can you exchange one for **what if ? 2**
Don’t forget to get the how to book also!
I love that book. I really need to get the sequel.
It’s a great book though, having 2 in the household is almost a blessing!
Talk about being on the same page.
One year my ex and I did that with a DVD set. Neither of us had seen the show before but multiple of our friends had and recommended it.
Slightly more awkward was the year I gave my friend a $25 Best Buy gift card and he gave me a $20 Best Buy gift card……
And thus began your book club. That’s super cute!
Read it to each other!
Good choice! Love the book, and the second one
It’s a great book. 10/10, would recommend for the nerdy SO
This happened with my ex and I (giving each other the same very specific book) and it somehow led to an awkward uncomfortable “fight”
The one who bought the hardcover is the superior gift-giver. We all know it to be true.
Those books are hilarious for nerds. You guys are in for a treat.
What if dinosaurs were into shibari?
Somewhere an algorithm orgasmed.
The SO that bought the hardcover edition is more in love than the other.
My aunts gifted each other visits to a salt room and decided to go together 😁
You both must be secret Creed fans
Aww you guys are meant to be ❤️🙏
I love that book. I really need to get the sequel.
I’m so brainrotted by evangelion I thought this was a reference to the Song
It’s such a good book
I got it as well for Christmas, and can only say that both of you have good taste in books!
Trade in one of them for What If #2! Great reading!
Have you found out what if yet?
