BFFs: The Radical Potential of Female Friendship by Anahit Behrooz

3.0

This is my second time reading a 404 Inklings book and I have to say I love the format. I'm not a big essay reader, but here, it's short, accessible, sweet and thought-provoking. Some interesting points were raised, like the physicality of female friendship, and I especially liked the last chapter. The pop culture references were also well chosen.

But I do wish the book would dig a bit deeper, as I'm not sure the "radical potential of female friendship" promise was really explored. Some examples and theories were raised but not always completely analyzed - though this essay format being so short, I suppose it's a bit harder.

I'm also curious to know if the author has written some fiction pieces, as the writing of little life moments in this book was truly beautiful and atmospherical.
