I’ve read a few books on friendship and this is by far the most comprehensive and best written of them all.

This book was so dense I can see myself returning to it. Plus at different points of my life I am sure it will resonate differently.

I appreciated the evidence based approach mixed with anecdotes and team life examples

I've been working on my attachment style and this book offered me the opportunity to see how my attachment style plays out in friendships. I could see myself in some of the stories and it helped me figure out what areas I need to work on to be a better friend.

The author makes a great case for expressing affection often and not taking friendships for granted.

This book is required reading! Such an easy and insightful read. It's what I bring up whenever I have a chance to smalltalk with folks. I'm sad that I'm done with it, but I'm glad I read it!
