You Must Be My Best Friend . . . Because I Hate You!: Friendship and How to Survive It [Paperback]

Emily Dubberley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2006

This no-nonsense guide delves into the most trying difficulties faced in maintaining friendships—difficulties seldom discussed between friends in conflict or covered in relationship manuals. Combining revealing anecdotes with expert research, the guide addresses every friendship roadblock imaginable, including "third wheel" syndrome; being friends with a nasty gossip; surviving a not-so-hot vacation with a friend; and, of course, falling in love with a best friend. Including a quiz to help forecast your friendship future with a given person, this vital volume is for anyone who wants to become a better friend.

This review is from: You Must Be My Best Friend . . . Because I Hate You!: Friendship and How to Survive It (Paperback)

Even though they let me down & drive me crazy? I dearly love my girlfriends. This doesn't mean that life is all peaches and rainbows however. If you've ever had difficulties with intimacy and co-communication? Read and learn. It's true, there are no specific rules about making and keeping friends...but this helpful little book comes close. Not only do I feel better about failed platonic relationships of the past? I can work on being a better friend to others-present and future.
