What They're Saying

Critics Review

Praise for Friendaholic:

‘A joyful read’

THE SUNDAY TIMES

‘Essential reading… admirably candid and well-crafted’

THE GUARDIAN

‘(An) eloquent, disarmingly honest book’

DAILY MIRROR

‘A generous, companionable guide to a part of life every bit as crucial – and as fraught – as romance or family.’

THE OBSERVER

‘Perceptive, compassionate and filled with relatable insights into all that is beautiful about friendship, with its most valuable point being that it should be about quality, rather than quantity.’

THE DAILY MAIL

‘This book is brilliant.’ Jo Elvin

‘I’ve never read a book about friendships before. This one really digs deep, is bravely revealing and makes me reflect on my own friendship habits, issues, and culture.’ Bernardine Evaristo

‘I really want to say that reading Elizabeth Day feels like listening to a friend, but it’s complicated by the fact that I’m an actual friend who makes an appearance in this book on friendship. But fuck it, it’s true: reading Elizabeth Day feels like listening to a friend. And reading her on this strangely neglected theme is a revelation. Friendships can mean as much, sometimes even more than family, and finally we have a book that treats the subject with the seriousness it deserves. And Day is the best possible guide: funny, moving, helpful and true, Friendaholic deserves a massive audience.’ Sathnam Sanghera
