4.5 stars—I loved all the practical advice and the emphasis on kindness and looking out for your friends in many different circumstances. Also the Audiobook was a great experience with Jen and Trin taking turns narrating just like in their podcast. I will definitely reference and revisit this book in the future!
Szóval barátkozni nehéz, főleg felnőttként nem egyszerű komolyabb kapcsolatokat kiépíteni. Márpedig manapság ide-oda dobálja az embert az élet, nehéz fenntartani a régi kapcsolatokat és még trükkösebb újakat kiépíteni. Jenn és Trin igazából azt csinálták, hogy fogták azokat a kérdéseket, amiket általában kapnak a podcastjukba és megnézték, hogy mik a közös pontok: s ezek alapján írták meg a könyvet. Tehát igazából a típuskérdésekre adnak válaszokat. A közös bennük, hogy minden a barátság körül forog: ha új városba költözöl, hol érdemes ismerkedni? Mennyire jó szorosabbra fűzni a kapcsolatot munkatársakkal? Egyáltalán van-e értelme a munkahelyi barátságoknak? Ha már összehaverkodunk valakivel, hogyan tartsuk a kapcsolatot? Mennyire legyünk rámenősek? Hogyan tartsuk életben a távbarátságokat? Mennyire vagyunk mérgező barátok? Szóval van ötlet konfliktuskezelésre, tanácsadásra és még arra is kitérnek, hogyan menedzseljük, ha pénzügyek felmerülnek a barátok közt. Sőt még arra is kitérnek, hogy mi van, ha a barátságból románc lesz.
Ugyan nem úgy készült, de igazából még a COVID időszakára, a karanténra, a kötelező távolságtartásra is lehet alkalmazni egy csomó ötletet belőle, főleg arról, hogyan lehet kapcsolatot tartani távol lévő barátokkal, vagy éppen miként vonjuk magunkat mi ki ha túlságosan sok lenne a társas érintkezés. Szóval a kötet ad tippeket extrovertáltaknak és introvertáltaknak egyaránt.
Szóval abszolút gyakorlatias könyv ez, kiváló ötletekkel és nagyon szerettem hallgatni is szokás szerint Jenn és Trin hangját. Persze nem volt annyira spontán és örömteli, mint a podcastjukban, viszont jóval összeszedettebb és kevésbé csapongó tényleg hasznos és gyakorlatias tanácsokkal teli.

Friendship etiquette and advice for millennials and Gen-Z people. The book contain some helpful suggestions and good guidance on dealing with friends however I thought the authors came across as entitled and unkind occasionally and even snarky at times. I didn’t like the quick push towards therapy and counseling, which was over the top, in my opinion. 2.5 stars
Fav. Quotes:
Energy comes at a cost and time is a nonrenewable resource. You don’t have to continually initiate plans with people you just aren’t clicking with. Invest in the people who are kind to you and to others; people with whom you share a hobby or sense of humor; people whose company you enjoy.
Only give advice when it’s wanted or has been requested. If you are the typical advice-giving type, we get it! You’re coming from a good place! You just want to help! But pause to consider how your advice is being received: You may be accidentally talking down to someone you care about, or you might just be making your friends feel plain silly. (You can safely assume that your friend has done all the obvious stuff. They probably already googled their problem and read the first ten results.)

This book gives advice about forming friendships as an adult. It starts with how to find people that you have something in common with, where to look for friends, and how to recognize when a new acquaintance is interested in being friends. Then there are chapters about how to navigate difficult friend problems like hosting parties, lending money, or setting boundaries. There is some good advice about being compassionate and forgiving, and how to give a proper apology.
However, I found it odd that a book about friendship had so much political propaganda in it, almost preaching leftist ideology to the reader. It would have been much better to stick to the subject of friendship instead of forcing a political agenda into the book.
There are example conversations between people that are supposed to illustrate good ways to make new friends, but the dialogues don't sound like anything a real person would ever say.
There is also some profanity in this book that was completely unnecessary.

This book's publication is well-timed with us all coming out of pandemic hibernation. It's a caring, motivating treatise on friendship that includes the modernity of anti-oppression etc. While not earth-shattering enough to warrant note-taking, it is still a worthwhile satisfying read.
