ARC Review || B.F.F. A Memoir of Friendship Lost & Found
“It’s okay as long as you keep writing. Always write about the mess.”
While this book wasn’t what I thought, to be honest I’m not 100% sure what I was expecting. It turned out to be kind of sad, though. I really commend Christie for her honesty and self awareness. She worked hard to build and repair relationships with the women around her, starting with herself. I think that takes a special part of you to address inner issues that impede your relationships, and I was definitely rooting for her.
I could relate to finding true lasting friendships and community in adulthood and the positive impact they have on your life.
This was a pretty slow read, and wasn’t as much of a page turner as group. But I don’t like to rate memoirs as this is someone else’s lived reality.
