Although I wouldn't describe myself as a friendaholic, I found this book incredibly thought-provoking and insightful. Elizabeth Day's compassionate, empathetic approach to her friends and others, as well as her candour about her own personal struggles, makes this book uniquely reflective without being navel-gazing, and personal but still somewhat universal. This book helped me reflect on my own friendships and figure out why I felt the way I do about some of them, explained certain behaviours, and helped me let go of friendships that were no longer serving me.
I found it an interesting exploration of female friendships, and it doesn't shy away from difficult topics like infertility or death. I wish there were more of an exploration of male friendships, and how to maintain them.
