The author spends the first third of the book talking about her experiences with friends instead of actually giving advice. Writing style was too casual for me.

Aimed at a younger audience. Too many film and tv references to be useful. Felt very samey throughout

Lane Moore does a great job of describing the highs and lows of trying to make friends in adulthood. She relates, empathizes, and most importantly, she assures us that it's okay to need love and acceptance. I had the pleasure of reading her first novel a couple years ago and I think this is a great companion to her previous work, but I do recommend that people read it after they read "How to be Alone"; that's the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars.

I have the same issue with You Will Find Your People that I had with Lane Moore's other book, How to Be Alone: they're both claiming to be self-help books while actually being memoirs with specific themes. In the case of How to Be Alone, it was about Moore's experiences with loneliness, and barely about how someone who is truly feeling alone can cope with it and move forward. And with You Will Find Your People, Moore spends most of the book writing anecdotes about her friendships instead of giving any meaningful information or advice. I just wish both books were what they're advertised as, because they could really help people if so. But instead, they both end up being memoirs that, while they're okay, aren't very impactful.

The title promised something different than a memoir, it was filled with often repetitive anecdotes and references to shows. Which in itself isn't a bad thing, but I didn't vibe with the way the, in my case, audiobook was written and read by the author.
It had some good, helpful advice but nothing really ground-breaking that I hadn't at least heard before.

Mostly geared towards white, monogamous, middle class younger adults, but a good entry into how attachment sounds can impact friendships

There is some solid advice in here; however, the amount of anecdotes overwhelms it.

too many specific anecdotes about toxic friends and the pop culture/media reference and emphasis on how much she dreams she had what other people seem to have got old really fast. Not really any emotional tools/tips for meaningful friendships/connections - it was just like yeah be a nice person and do nice things for people. Very casual and conversational/podcast-y which is fine if that's what you're looking for. Maybe I just couldn't relate to the authors goals for friendship
