Love seeing friendships being seen as valuable in their own right alongside romantic relationships, rather than inherently beneath them. Part of me wishes I'd read a physical copy rather than the audiobook because I think I would've appreciated certain passages better, so will definitely be one I revisit.

I liked some points the book makes but I vehemently disagree that nonverbal boundaries are acceptable form of finishing friendships. I really hope my current friends would have more guts than just ghost me and consider it a boundary.

A treatise on the interpersonal politics of friendship. Some interesting stuff in here about bad friendships, friendships that end, peripheral friendships, and how best friends achieve this indescribable, intangible relational depth. Really enjoyed this one, a very accessible but thoughtful read that I picked up on holiday.
Stand out quote on empathy: "This, I think, is the key to ensuring friendships survive and thrive through different life phases. You do not have to travel the same path at the same time. But if you value your friend enough, you can leave a room for their pain in the home of your own imagination."

An interesting and important take on different types and aspects of friendship throughout different life stages.
Friendship tapes added more perspectives to the book making it relevant to almost anyone.
A good book to gift to your friends.
