Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close

"Big Friendship – the name Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow gave to intentional, committed, long-term friendships – is part memoir, part thesis for elevating how we view platonic relationships. Backing up their experiences with sociological research, these besties (who co-host the Call Your Girlfriend podcast) write in the collective “we” about the ups and downs of their own friendship, ultimately inventing a new framework for relationship maintenance. We read Big Friendship as a two-person book club and an exercise in understanding our own friendship – and we came away with a new sense of what it means to invest in the Big Friendships in our lives."
