Why read it?

2 authors picked BFF as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Christie Tate is a New York Times Best Selling Author for a reason: the woman can tell a story! 

In BFF, I feel like Tate does something that most of us are too scared to do – examine our friendships with the same persistence and fervor as we do our romances (like her 2020 best seller, Group, which was Reece’s Book Club pick).

BFF is a story about relationships told through the lens of recovery. A POV that I find to be particularly fascinating for obvious reasons. But BFF is truly a book for everyone. 

I tore through it…

Written during COVID, but not about the pandemic, BFF is for those of us who are less-than-perfect friends.

Her lifelong struggles to define and live up to her impossible ideals of friendship are instantly relatable. She’ll annoy you and maybe make you mad, but you’ll cheer her on for her desire to do the right thing. Her challenges are ours, too.

In fact, reading how she coped with the loss of her best friend was a comfort to me. Because I read it at a time when I was devastated by a similar loss.

From Victoria's list on friendship and grief (and pandemics).
