A celebration of our female friendships, of our messy years, and of growing up together, "The Friend Book" is a book to share with every woman you've ever been lucky enough to call a friend. With wit, heart, and humor, it's a book that celebrates the joys of female friendship and the complexities of growing up together.

"Nearly everything I know about love, I've learnt from my long-term friendships with women," says the author. "I know that love can be loud and jubilant, dancing in the swampy mud and the pouring rain at a festival, shouting "YOU ARE AMAZING" over the band. It's laughing until you wheeze, and it's walking along the street together on a Saturday night and feeling an entire city is yours.

"I also know that love is a pretty quiet thing. It's lying on the sofa together drinking coffee, talking about where you're going to go that morning to drink more coffee. It's folding down pages of books you think they'd find interesting.

"I know that love happens under the splendor of fireworks and sunsets, but also happens when you're lying on blow-up airbeds in a childhood bedroom, sitting in A&E or in the queue for a passport.

"WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

"A book every girl in her 20s needs to read.
