Jane and Dan at the End of the World by Colleen Oakley, 368 pages
Jane and Dan won a raffle for a reservation at one of the fanciest restaurants in the country, so that's how they're planning on celebrating their 19th anniversary. Unfortunately, that's also when Jane decides to tell Dan that she wants a divorce. After all, she's being ignored by their kids, she has no real direction in life, and she's pretty sure Dan's cheating on her. But even her plans for this announcement go wrong, as not long after being served their tiny first course of snooty food, a group of militant climate change activists takes everyone in the restaurant hostage. What ensues is a bitingly funny crime scene, full of inept hostage-takers and police officers, miscommunications, and even a bit of self-realization. It's hilarious, it's action-packed, and definitely a bunch of fun.
