It bothers me that so much of our communication as human beings is done is online. This book felt like a breath of fresh air. It offers practical, thoughtful advice on how to build and maintain strong, meaningful female friendships, something that’s so important but often overlooked. The stories are relatable, the guidance is clear and compassionate, and I loved how it touches on everything from making new friends to navigating conflict with grace...I just put that one to work in one of my relationships this morning. I want to deepen my current friendships or create new ones and this book was a beautiful reminder that real connection is essential to a happy, balanced life.

Making new friends as an adult (& introverted) woman is weirdly hard, and this audiobook totally got that. I liked how this breaks down different types of friendships, why some drift, and how to build more intentional ones. Honestly, it made me reflect on the friendships I want to nurture and gave me the push to show up better for them. Definitely worth the listen

After a big move, I felt totally disconnected and unsure how to build a new circle of real, meaningful friendships—not just acquaintances. This really opened my eyes to how much mindset matters and how we often self-sabotage without realizing it. The mix of honest advice, reflection prompts, and communication tips helped me reach out to a few women I'd met at work and in community spaces. Now, I’m seeing real connections forming. It’s helped me show up more intentionally and be less afraid of vulnerability. Wish I’d heard this years ago.

I didn’t expect to take notes, but here we are. This one actually made me reflect on how I show up for the women in my life—and how I don’t. Some of it hit close to home, like realizing how I let certain friendships fade just because life got “busy.” It doesn’t preach or oversimplify. It just... gets it. I’ve already reached out to two old friends, and it felt good. Like, why did I wait this long?

As a woman juggling work, family, and just life in general, friendships have taken a back seat over the years. I’ve found it hard to make new connections and maintain the ones I already have. This audiobook felt like sitting down with a wise friend who just gets it.

It’s honest about how complicated female friendships can be—jealousy, distance, misunderstandings—and offers real ways to work through them. I especially appreciated the parts about conflict resolution and letting go of old, unhelpful friendship patterns. It made me reflect on where I’ve fallen short and where I can show up better.

This audiobook definitely encouraged me to go out and reach my old friends I’ve lost touch with, at least I want to, just to say hi and check in. This book reminded me how deeply I value the women in my life. If you’ve ever felt a little lonely or disconnected, this is a gentle nudge to reconnect and rebuild in a really authentic way.
