Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close
by Aminatou Sow, Ann Friedman
fast-paced
I can not and will not stop raving on and on about this book. This book touched me in so many ways that I do not know where to start. As a person in interracial big friendships, this book meant so-so much to me. I felt that I was given a personal insight into relationships that are not always spoken or openly spoken about. The authors discussed how friendships are viewed as something that is disposable and one person could leave the relationship without closure and how research has shown that when a non-romantic relationship ends, oftentimes it's more hurtful than romantic relationships. IT'S ABOUT TIME, that these conversations are being held. We need to carve out more space to discuss big friendships. Big friendships have ups and downs and the authors were transparent about theirs and how their differences drew them apart and what they did to get back together. I felt like this was something I most definitely needed and I contacted the people I have big friendships with after reading this book and told them EXACTLY how much they mean to me.
I am still contacting them.
