Really, really incredible read. So much focus in life is on romantic relationships, need more content like this that emphasizes and helps us navigate friendships.

I wanted to read about friendship and not about how amazing they and their careers are.

Part-memoir, part-research, two friends tell tales of their friendship & how they keep it thriving with little excerpts of research along the way. 

I really liked the balance between research and anecdote, and it was fun to reflect on my own friendships while reading. The POV of writing as "we" was a little odd for me because I found myself wondering exactly who wrote what based on voice, etc, but it was a fun read nonetheless. I also borrowed this book from a friend, so it couldn't be more fitting.

I LOVED seeing a book about friendship, and how important and touching and major it can be in someone's life, because I've been screaming this for 8 years now and no, I will never tire of it. We need more everything about the power of friendship <3
