'A gorgeous book and a reminder of just how intense and special female friendship is.' Emma Gannon, author of CtrlAltDelete
Our best friends, girl friends, bromances, Twitter followers, Facebook friends, long- distance buddies and WhatsApp threads define us in ways we rarely acknowledge. There is so much about friendship we either don t know or don t articulate: why do some friendships last a lifetime, while others are only temporary? How do you break up with a toxic friend? And maybe the most important question: how can we live in the most connected age and still find ourselves stuck in the greatest loneliness epidemic of our time? It s killing us, making us miserable and causing a public health crisis. What if meaningful friendships are the solution, not a distraction?
In The Friendship Cure, Kate Leaver s much anticipated manifesto brings to light what modern friendship means, how it can survive, why we need it and what we can do to get the most from it. From behavioural scientists to best mates, Kate finds extraordinary stories and research, drawing on her own experiences to create a fascinating blend of investigative journalism, pop culture and memoir.

'A really gorgeous, affirming book which makes me want to find the people I love most in the world and hug them very, very tightly.' The Pool'The Friendship Cure is here to make us love our girl friends all over again... you'll want to buy it and give it to all of your friends immediately.' Evening Standard
'It's time to talk about love. No, not that kind of love, but that which is shared between female friends.' Red

'Kate Leaver's book is a wide-ranging exploration of what friends mean to us full of rich personal insights and common sense, accompanied by a good dose of science.' Robin Dunbar, author of How Many Friends Does One Person Need?
