About this listen

Voice memos, care packages, hours-long phone conversations, treasured traditions that go back decades, glasses held aloft during wedding toasts, hands held at funerals, first cuddles with newborns, work lunches with work wives, taking it to the group chat – our friendships touch and enrich every part of our lives. But how often do we stop to consider them deeply?

Just Friends explores modern friendship – what it means to be, to make and, sometimes, to lose a friend. It is a celebration of friendship, shining a light on the many different forms they can take and the comfort they provide, whether they exist within the workplace, emerge in motherhood, are uncovered inside our neighbourhoods, or become our chosen family.

Just Friends is an ode to the people that shape us. It is a book to devour on the beach or with a book club, a book to return to again and again, and, most importantly, a book to press into the hands of the friends you love the most.

I really sat down and took my time with this book. Just Friends made me feel all the feelings: happiness, gratitude, validation empathy and heartbreak for the stories and insight shared within the pages. This book made me realise why my friendships (past and present) mean so much to me. I encourage everyone to read this book and just like I did, take the time to reflect on your relationships, you might just find new meanings for them.

Every friend needs to read this book

This book has helped me remember how much I adore my friends and how they are in many ways my sanity and stability. Forgetting how beautiful and nuanced my friendships are to me, I was reawakened to my love and joy for other. Thanks to the writer and also the narrator of this amazing book.
