Asking for a Friend (2023)
Kerry Clare
"Kerry Clare's Asking for a Friend is a love story about female friendship. Through shifting perspectives and slices of life, this book follows two women from their instantaneous connection through the next twenty years, as they navigate the realities of relationships, jobs, losses, and motherhood, with their bond as a lifeline. I was drawn in by Clare's clear-eyed depiction of pregnancy as a tightrope walk of yearning and fear. This book is honest, intimate, compassionate, hopeful, and sometimes heartbreaking; it made me reflect on my own friendships with women, both long-lasting and short-lived."
