[Review Quote] ""Which goes to show Friending isn't just a self-help book. Schmitt also adds in personal experiences with her friends and clients to give her theories a more practical platform. We know Schmitt's theories can work because she's illustrated them with relatable examples." "That is what makes this book such a great read. Friending isn't meant to be consumed in one go--you are supposed to pick up the sections of the book that pertain to you. Looking to create friendships Read the chapter on being available and answer those questions.
