With the recent announcement that the cast of Friends is coming back together for a reunion episode on [NBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-office-set) sometime in 2016, [BuzzFeed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bf-island) writer Andrea Hickey put together a series of conceptual book titles based off of [popular quotes from the series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friends-x-casetify-collection). The book titles are comical and draw reference to cult favorite sayings and scenes that have become so well-known throughout the ten year series.

The book titles are based off of the most noteworthy quotes of the series, with a few being selected for each character as their own self-titled novels. For example, Ross Geller's book is called 'My Sandwich?!' after the episode where someone ate his beloved turkey sandwich. The cover features a sketch of Geller rubbing his eyes in distress as similarly seen on the show.
