Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for a friend? You've found it!

How have your friends shaped you into who you are today?

What would you do if you fell in love with your best friend?

And what are the golden rules of going into business with a close friend?

15 women who have faced these questions - and many more - tell us everything they have learned in the process about life's essential bond: friendship.

Featuring essays from Dame Jenni Murray, Gina Martin, Candice Brathwaite, Yomi Adegoke & Elizabeth Uviebinené, Shappi Khorsandi, Megan Jayne Crabbe (@bodyposipanda), Flo Perry and more!

In turns funny, moving, confronting and uplifting, each lesson gives a frank and refreshing view on both the pleasure and pain of our closest connections. From contemporary questions about the authenticity of online friendship to universal talking points such as how many friends we really need, this is a wise exploration - and joyous celebration - of the most essential relationship in our lives.
