Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Ann Friedman, Aminatou Sow

3.0
In that light, my comments on how the book feels a bit heteronormative are mostly moot. There isn't a lot of discussion on diverse gender friendships, but I suppose that's because the authors are not involved in one. There is a large section about diverse racial friendships, though, which I found insightful. I appreciate the call out for Angela Chen's book Ace, but I was left wanting more on the nuances of platonic vs. romantic relationships... and on a bunch of topics, honestly.
This was a quick audiobook listen for me, and I recommend that format. The authors narrate, and when they are quoting others they have that person read their own quote, which is super fun. For a low-stakes read, this was interesting, but I'm left wanting a lot more on this topic.
