"I really enjoyed Modern Friendship by Anna Goldfarb. It’s thoughtful, relatable, and refreshingly grounded in what friendship actually looks like today—not the curated Instagram version, but the messy, meaningful reality.

Goldfarb nails that strange contradiction of feeling like you have a hundred close friends while simultaneously feeling like you don’t know who to call when crises strikes. She explores why we choose certain people (and why they choose us), and how those choices shape the relationships that often define our lives.

The reflective exercises helped me organize my thoughts and take a more honest look at how I approach my own friendships.

This book strikes a great balance: insightful without being preachy, reflective without getting too heavy.
