Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict

Product Information

In reality, it reads like a 400-page transcript of her therapy sessions – a form which recently reached its apotheosis in Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare.

Day rightly emphasizes the interesting lack of literature concerning these types of relationships, and she provides an in-depth exploration of her own experiences and those of others too.

We imagine our bond will be forged through a shared interest – a hobby, maybe, like a book club or finding each other in the local yoga class every Saturday. I’ve thought lots while reading this about my friends, and about how I act as a friend, and came out of this reading experience feeling I better understood what friendship means in my life, how to be a better friend, and with more conscious gratitude for my friends than I have had in some time. Not the first book I have read by Elizabeth day and they always make me think and reflect about my own life. Misschien omdat ik precies het tegenovergestelde ben maar girly je kan gewoon nee zeggen tegen mensen en grenzen stellen?

There was a lot in the book to think about and reflect on in my own life, and some of the insights were certainly more challenging than others. It happened to be my birthday while we were there and that evening the other delegates started plying me with vodka tonics.I feel so grateful that the darkest point in my life brought me here, to one of the brightest friendships. I felt it as a symbolic gesture that marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, that is now forever imprinted in my memory, heart and soul. We don't have to have "White Wine Wednesdays" to discuss how we feel about each other because playing and training alongside each other and pushing ourselves beyond physical barriers to grow as teammates and not let each other down says more than any fireside discussion possibly could.
