Read this on my period and it had me reflecting on my romantic and platonic relationships hard. Just called my therapist to make an appointment after ghosting her for a full college semester. I took a lot of good from Alderton’s wisdom, many perfect anecdotes for my notes app, but can’t help but feel sad after finishing because it’s a memoir. Real life, not a fantasy and a reminder that life is flawed and not wrapped up all nicely with a bow on top. Go after life. That’s my takeaway.

"I would like to pause the story a moment to talk about 'nothing will change.' I’ve heard it said to me repeatedly by women I love during my twenties when they move in with boyfriends, get engaged, move abroad, get married, get pregnant. 'Nothing will change.' It drives me bananas. Everything will change. Everything will change. The love we have for each other stays the same, but the format, the tone, the regularity, and the intimacy of our friendship will change forever."
