4.4/5 stars. A reaaaaally good read, especially in audiobook format because the author sounds like such a open-hearted individual! Some good nuggets in here that I will implement, but a lot of the advice on "keeping friends" fell flat for me because I don't have any IRL friends to keep 🥲

An indepth look at Friendship through the lense of a social scientist.  Primarily anecdotal but does include scientific studies.   It is one of a kind and well worth the read.

Insightful instances and practical advice. 
The book doesn’t expect unreasonable actions from the reader to maintain relationships. It makes a case for research-backed practices that help maintain friendships and ensure they don’t conflict with the authentic self. There were several examples that I found relatable and many moments which led me to introspect.
