The Friend Who Got Away: Twenty Women's True Life Tales of Friendships that Blew Up, Burned Out or Faded Away by Elissa Schappell, Jenny Offill
4.0
Ever heard of the "Friendcut?"

Probably not, since its a cultural term used by my homies in Fiji to describe the act of breaking up with a friend. The concept is hard to explain to those in this country, who give lots of epistemological credence to romantic breakups but hardly any to friendcutting heartbreak. So when I saw this book, I had to read it, to see if it fills that void. It did, as much as one book can. The many different stories give weight to the complexity of the Friendcutting process. Read this, think of the concept and the phrase "I'll cut choo!" will have a whole new meaning.
