I saw an article for this book on CNN and was intrigued. Fighting for Our Friendships by Danielle Bayard Jackson is about female friendships. What an unexplored topic! I love my friends like biological sisters, so this book was very interesting to me. It dives right into why friendship bonds are important with all its ups and downs. It gives examples with real-life drama we can all relate to. Reading this was a masterclass in how not to be selfish and how to be a better—and not gossipy—friend.
