Critics Review
BFF? … inspired me to try to be braver about confronting niggling issues with friends in future. – Helen Brown * The Telegraph *Claire’s writing is as clever as it is kind - cheering, wise and reassuring. BFF is like having a best mate on your bookshelf, and I’ll be giving it to all of the women I love! – Daisy Buchanan * author of Careering, Insatiable and How to Be a Grown Up *Having seriously struggled with friendship over the years, I picked up this wonderful book feeling like an imposter and put it down feeling hugely relieved. Claire Cohen calmly and brilliantly irons out the shaming crinkles in how we can think about female friendship, reframing it with analysis, understanding, and appreciation. This terrific book more than stands its ground against the tyrannical memories of Forever Friends merchandise while making a heartening case for a portfolio of friendship types. – Kat Brown * editor of No One Talks about This Stuff *GRAZIA SUMMER READ. With input from psychologists, experts and women’s women like Jane Garvey and MP Jess Phillips, Cohen interrogates the myths and pop culture tropes around female friendship and highlights the pressure points. – Summer reads * Grazia *
