gem!’s Reviews > What Did I Do Wrong?: When Women Don't Tell Each Other the Friendship is Over > Status Update

continuing to read this book reminds me to celebrate differences that exist in us as human beings; women, as this book tries to describe, exist as beings who have deep, deep emotions as it relates to friendships. I treasure each one of my surviving friends as I grow; and while I celebrate the simplicity that male friendships afford, I feel grateful to have my female friends (and trans and queers included) as well.

there's a lot of real, tangible solutions in this book that i'm taking note of. trusting your gut is one; getting to the root of a problem & not being sidetracked with past grievances or issues; not being accusatory. a solution that many of the friendship-enders have come to is writing a letter; from experience, this usually doesn't work as well as having a phone call or face to face talk. more later.
