Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Ann Friedman, Aminatou Sow
3.0
This book really made me think deeply about my friendships and honestly, it left me with a sense of longing that I didn't expect to feel. Through big life transitions, miscommunication, and turbulence, these two women have shown up for each other and have been committed to their friendship in a way that feels extremely rare --- especially in a culture that prioritizes familial and romantic relationships over platonic ones. I wouldn't say I walked away with any tools for navigating friendships, but their perspective is refreshing (and also, it feels appropriate to simply walk away with perspective given they are not therapists). Highly recommend this book to people over 30 looking to build stronger bonds in their platonic relationships.
