3.5
A treatise on the interpersonal politics of friendship. Some interesting stuff in here about bad friendships, friendships that end, peripheral friendships, and how best friends achieve this indescribable, intangible relational depth. Really enjoyed this one, a very accessible but thoughtful read that I picked up on holiday.
Stand out quote on empathy: "This, I think, is the key to ensuring friendships survive and thrive through different life phases. You do not have to travel the same path at the same time. But if you value your friend enough, you can leave a room for their pain in the home of your own imagination."
