Summary:
This warm, wise exploration of female friendship from the author of You Just Don't Understand will help
women
lean into these powerful relationships. Best friend, old friend, good friend, bff, college roommate, neighbor, workplace confidante:
Women
's
friendships
are a lifeline in times of trouble and a support system for daily life. A friend
can
be like a sister, daughter, mother, mentor, therapist, or confessor - or she
can
be all of these at once. She's seen you at your worst and celebrates you at your best. Figuring out what it means to be friends is, in the end, no less than figuring out how we connect to other people. Deborah Tannen deconstructs the ways
women
friends talk and how those ways
can
bring friends closer or pull them apart. From casual chatting to intimate confiding, from talking about problems to telling what you had for dinner, Tannen uncovers the patterns of communication and miscommunication that affect
friendships
at different points in our lives. She shows how even the best of friends - with the best intentions -
can
say the wrong thing, and how words
can
repair the damage done by words. Through Tannen'
s
signature insight, humor, and ability to present pitch-perfect real-life dialogue, readers will see themselves and their
friendships
on every page.
