She Matters: A Life in Friendships by Susanna Sonnenberg

3.0

This book makes me itchy and appreciative in equal measure. Sonnenberg's life in friendships provides a fascinating series of recognizable moments, when friendships end, when they begin, when they rekindle. So much in this memoir is relatable, but Sonnenberg's well-explored need for companionship makes the stories blur together a bit after a while. I know where the author began her quest to be a better friend, and I saw her end a better, more mature friend at the book's close. But the middle lost me a bit, and that's where my itch came in. I itched for more -- which isn't a poor place to leave me, I suppose. But something in the structure left me unsatisfied.
