You Will Find Your People: How to Make Meaningful Friendships as an Adult by Lane Moore
2.0
First the good - the idea that we have been sold friendships as a media trope is powerful. We all want the Golden Girls fantasy - but it IS a media friendly ideal. Some of the lists of types of friends and how to change friendship levels are helpful.
The bad - all antidotes, based on a singular experience of friendships with no science or facts backing up and supporting the opinions. Some of the suggestions were contradictory, and others got lost in the (sometimes) amusing stories.
The infuriating - I did not connect with the writing style at all. It was like reading the transcript of a podcast or someone doing a long rambling lecture. Give this book a chapter to see if the style is right for you. Someone who enjoys reading/watching more confessional social media content will likely enjoy this approach.
