Smith, Tiffany Watt - Bad Friend

A rebellious new history of female friendship and timely reclamation of the 'bad friend'. For as long as women have had friends, they’ve gotten us drunk, spilled our secrets, bailed on plans and meddled where we wished they wouldn’t. They’ve also held back our hair, sat with us while we cried and made us feel altogether invincible. Maybe none of us are perfect. Inspired by her own disappointments in friendship, cultural historian Tiffany Watt-Smith shows us the transformative power of a messier, more expansive vision of the connection we just might need the most.
