Absolutely LOVED this book. It touched on so many aspects of friendship- I learned so much and have a lot to reflect on and improve. It’s a very informational book but the storytelling is captivating and there are quite a few good little jokes along the way that made me chuckle! The chapter summaries were also a huge help for retention- I’ll probably go back and reread those. I honestly wish everyone would read this book, all our friendships would vastly improve!!
