The Friendship Breakup follows Fallon, an almost 40-year-old, trying to navigate her friend group of moms as they change and grow (some regress) and move on. Unfortunately for Fallon, the group's most assertive personality (read leader), Beatrice, behaves more like a high schooler regarding conflict resolution. Bea is going through some serious personal issues but relies on rumor and conjecture to base her decisions, which leads to her ghosting Fallon from the group. And, as in high school, the rest of the group follows Bea's lead.
The book has so much more to it; Fallon wins a chocolate-making contest, gets investors to open a shop, has a good relationship with her husband and her daughter, works through her adoption issues, seeks counseling, and makes new friends - all of which help Fallon, in the end, get back to her confident, independent self, and surround herself with actual good friends.
However, the meat of the story is when you look back on what you read. As all of us know, high school is generally not easy, mean girls bully lots of us, and we carry those scars throughout our adulthood and often into our adult female circles. The Friendship Breakup took me back to some mean girl situations in my own life, but through Annie Cathryn's lighthearted writing and fun dialogue, she was able to help me see that it is okay to break up with those so-called friends and move on.
The Friendship Breakup is a quick, easy read that, if you let it, will help you see that we can and should move beyond the toxic friendship relationships - there are better people out there waiting to friend us.
Annie Cathryn's debut is worth reading and will bring you joy and some good self-reflection.… (mehr)
