Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow, Ann Friedman
3.75
I would highly recommend this book to people who value, or are trying to value, their friendships and platonic relationships the same way we are taught to with familial and romantic relationships.
Big Friendships showcases that friendships aren't always no-effort and easy things. They require work and effort from both parties if they are truly going to succeed, and that isn't a bad thing.
As someone who has been struggling with keeping long-distance friendships going recently this book was a huge comfort, and even made me tear up towards the end, as well as offering some advice for how to keep and maintain 'big friendships'.
