Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow, Ann Friedman

1.0

emotional reflective medium-paced

---

A largely self-indulgent book on the part of the authors, who tell us in no uncertain terms that they have largely been putting on a front for their wildly popular “we’re best friends!!!” podcast? Every once in a while they throw in a quote from a sociologist or researcher, but I wish that was a larger focus of the book. Instead, they rehash  their relationship in hopes that it will be relatable to their audience. It’s not.
