Ik lees nooit psychologische boeken, maar dit boek vond ik erg interessant. Ik twijfel bijvoorbeeld altijd of ik eerlijk of enthousiast moet zijn. Bijvoorbeeld als iemand een eerste prijs bowlen of cavia trainen heeft gewonnen. Maar Franco maakt duidelijk dat je gul moet zijn naar je vrienden en bereid moet zijn om door hun ogen te kijken. Het is hartstikke leuk dat ze zo goed kunnen bowlen, al vind jij er misschien niets ana. Dat is volkomen irrelevant in het teken van de vriendschap. Zogenaamd neutrale geïnteresseerde vragen stellen als: waarom is die prijs zo belangrijk voor je? als iemand gek van vreugde is, zijn alleen maar dodelijk voor de relatie.

Ooo. OOO. I *really* liked this book. So much of the literature and research of attachment focuses on either romantic or parent/child relationships. This was awesome because it addressed many questions I’ve had about friendship. I hope there is more to come! I’ll probably end up reading this one again.

I loved every bit of this book. I appreciated all of the facts, references, and interviews. True time and dedication went into this. I feel if everyone read this, we’d have a much better world.
Challenging & enlightening. Would make for a good buddy read (duh). Reach out to your friends!

This was a sweet book and I'm so glad it exists in the world! Back when I read Polysecure I was literally like "where is this book but about platonic relationships?" Well here it is! I think at this point in my life I didn't really need the content but I could have used it in my early 30s honestly. Sometimes I found the author a little cheesey or dorky and sometimes I felt like she made cringey comparisons about heavy issues but overall I thought it was well done and a great contribution to our often isolated society.
Just didn't make time. But I really want to! Even the data in the first few chapters made a huge difference in my approach to and mental state around making new friends.
