B.F.F.: A Memoir of Friendship Lost and Found

Reflects on the author's lifelong struggles to sustain female friendship and how the return of an old friend helped her explore the reasons she has avoided attachment. After more than a decade of dead-end dates and dysfunctional relationships, Tate was giddily in a new relationship. At a recovery meeting, a friend gave her a gentle suggestion: perhaps now would be the perfect time to examine why friendships gave her trouble. Tate embarked on a brutally hones excavation of her friendships, examining how shame and jealousy had kept the lasting bonds she craved out of reach. When that friend becomes ill, can Tate confront her deepest fears and face the ways one life can change another? --
