Useful if you’re going through a friendship breakup. Frustrating at times because u see these beautiful friendships lost to petty fueds or ego but also some really reflective, beautiful moments and thoughts penned down by some amazing women!

just finished ‘blue sisters’ & my heart is so full. beautifully written & i couldn’t stop highlighting words, sentences, paragraphs. the characters were just so real. there’s something about not necessarily loving the characters but feeling so deeply for them. absolutely beautifully written and it was definitely a 5 star read for me ♥️ maybe 4.5 but damn. i need to process this.
