When I picked this book up, I thought it would be more of a roadmap for me to understand female friendship, and the complexities that go completely over my head. I realized very early on that the author and I didn’t think the same, and that it would be hard for me to relate to her decisions, past and present. But it made me realize that if enough people can relate to her, there are enough people who are out there that do. I think this is going to be a great tool that will help me empathize with others in the future. I find myself thinking, “there’s no way someone actually thinks like that,” but then I realized that they do, and they just don’t think like me so it’s hard to imagine.
I think anyone who wants to enter into or nurture a long-term friendship should read this.

I can’t imagine being so in your head or in your thoughts about meeting other people. This book is incredibly well written, and definitely enjoyable, but I just felt so bad for the author the entire time I was reading it.

This is my second book by this author, I feel as though she’s so relatable and genuine within her writing. I loved “Group”, by this memoir was a lovely different perspective on her life. I’d absolutely recommend this book and her other, as well.

B.F.F. Is a beautiful story friendship, relationships, grief, loss and healing.
Christie Tate vulnerably shares the good, the bad and everything in between and does so in a ‘big sister’ fashion. She tackles the complexities of female friendships in a way that many can find gratifying and healing, her dedication to therapy shows her self awareness and understanding that we all have things to work on, grow and heal from and that a beautiful life can coincide with experiencing hardships.
While I related with Christie on some of her takes, there are parts that didn’t resonate - and that’s okay! No one’s journey through friendship and relationships will be the same, that said this book made me reflect on my own life experiences and how I can grow, which is an extremely valuable takeaway from reading someone else’s story.
Not every woman has a strong base when it comes to relationships with other women, it’s typically a generational struggle that’s passed down and that’s not anyone’s fault, but if you can recognize it - you have the power to change it. If that’s something you’ve struggled with in the past or are going through right now - I see you, I hear you and I stand with you.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster for sending me an Advanced copy of this fantastic book!
