Friendship by Lydia Denworth

informative reflective slow-paced

3.0

I quite enjoyed bits of this, but felt it was maybe just a bit long? Towards the end of each line of discussion I just started to get bored and fed up. Interrogating how friendship is even defined and different types of friendships depending on age, gender, socialising style, looking at what's going on genetically and hormonally as well, and the health impacts. It was all interesting - I just tended to feel that once the point was made i didn't need quite as much of the detail, examples, personal anecdotes, etc. Like, I got it can we move on please? I did have some interesting food for thought from it though, and probably most enjoyed learning about how they even go about framing research questions about friendship.
