Do I think there was anything new in this book? No, but I think it was full of thoughtful reminders to care about the people we love and to chase our friends with intentionality. 

Could this be new or helpful for some people? Yes! I found it to be full of gentle reminders of things I mostly already do! I think it was solid advice tho!

From a Christian presentation, but could be read by non Christians in my opinion. 

Thanks to Net Galley, the authors, and publishers for the copy to read and review.

They've done it again! If you loved I'll Be There, you'll love this deeper dive into friendships and strengthening them. True, you may take a deeper look at yourself and those around you, but is that a bad thing? Improving can be scary, but it can be great, and this book encourages we take a deeper look and work to do better whenever and wherever we can. This book will make you laugh, make you cry, give you good feelings, sad feelings, and hard feelings. Only pick it up if you want a range of emotions, an introspective reminder, and a way to look deeper into your relationships with those around you.

Great reminders about how to be a better friend. Reminders that it is ok to let some friends go. Reminders to be your true self at all times.

This book just didn’t resonate.   Have heard or read a lot of this in other places and it’s not their fault but felt like a rehash of info I already knew.

This book felt like a fun conversation with friends over a margarita. It was lighthearted while also balancing tough conversations about friendship and how to find (and keep) your people. I enjoyed the mix of writing styles between both authors and the humor and “realness” mixed in to each chapter. 

Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for an ARC of this book.

This was a short and to-the-point book about many aspects of (female) friendship, and I definitely think there were some good tidbits. There were a few too many queso references (I know it's in the title, but it just felt a bit overkill) and it seemed like a lot of it was straight-forward and surface level as far as the how-to, but overall I liked it!

This book was a great book on friendship. How to grow as a friend, how to make friends, how to know when not to be friends any more. It had lots of great tips and even a queso recipe!
