savvylit's review against another edition

This memoir is well-written and honest. Ultimately, though, it just was not for me. B.F.F. is rooted in the culture of middle-class, white Gen X women -- that's clearly the target audience. I think some of the points that Tate makes that attempt to be relatable and/or humorous fell flat for me as someone who was a teenager about twenty years after Tate had been. Additionally, this memoir was so focused on Tate's flaws and how she self-sabotaged that I was hoping for a little more evidence of how she'd developed/changed on this decades-long journey of healing and self-discovery regarding her role in her female friendships. There's surprisingly very little of that and it's not until the end of this book.
Many thanks to @avidreaderpress for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
