4.5 Took me foreverrrrr to read but some really good takeaways. I think the delay in reading it was partially due to the good but lengthy stories that accompanied each point.

World would very likely be a friendlier and nicer place if everyone read this book

I read this as part of my local library's reading challenge and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. The author challenges the idea that partnership and romantic relationships are the priority relationships and emphasizes the impact that quality relationships can have on all aspects of your life, even your health. She also offers practical advice on how to maintain and improve friendships.
