This is a book I wish I’d read in my late teens/early twenties.

Friendships are hard in any circumstance but having godly friends is harder. The author gives simple practical steps to being a better friend but also setting boundaries in friendships.

I would recommend this book to every teen and young adult that steps into my path,

The writing was well done and I could easily understand each point that was made.

This book, written by Grace Valentine, a young woman who shares her life of loneliness, searching for friends. Middle school, high school, college and independent living are reflected by her need to find her "community." Friends should build you up. But the culture we live in is obsessed with popularity. It is easy to be an energy giver rather than an energy taker. Joy comes from blessing others, shining and sharing Christ's love.

I did appreciate her emphasis on depending on Jesus as her friend.

"Once you seek Jesus as your friend you have a friend for life who creates miracles unexpectedly."

I first off want to say THANK YOU for writing this novel. For the past few weeks, I have been in deep contemplation on the subject of friendships in my own life. Reading this book felt like a friend just speaking into my soul, full of laughs and tears. The reality of this subject is that everyone in the world has to learn the hard truth about friendships at some point in their lives. I will definitely be recommending this especially to one of my newly found best friends. She and I just were having a conversation centered around Godly friendships and I think she would love this book!

The writing style made me feel like I was talking to a wise, God-loving friend about friendships and my own actions as a friend through a Christian lens. I’m eager for the release of this book so I can get a copy to sticky-note and share with friends. The writing style is casual, yet still prompts deep reflection. I particularly liked the many scripture quotations. Highly recommend this book!

I found a lot of this very useful, I think there was just a bit more god speak than I expected. Still very logically information.
