But how often do we pause to reflect on them deeply?
Just Friends dives into the heart of modern friendships, exploring what it means to be a friend, how we make them, and, sometimes, how we lose them. This heartfelt celebration shines a light on the many shapes and forms friendships can takewhether forged in the workplace, discovered in motherhood, nurtured within neighborhoods, or blossoming into chosen family.
A tender, joyful exploration of the connections that sustain us, Just Friends is a book to savor on the beach, share with a book club, and return to time and again. Most importantly, its a book to press into the hands of the friends you love the most.
