Journalist and memoir writer Julie Klam describes herself as "a middle-aged person who uses the term 'BFF' without irony," and is baffled by her mother's lack of best friends. But whether you fall into Klam's camp or her mother's, you'll find something to smile about in
Friendkeeping, a collection of anecdotes about friends. From childhood friends to those she met on Facebook, sensible friends to crazy ones, successful friends (whom she can't help being jealous of) to the odd hierarchy of play-group parents (arranged by the developmental milestones their kids have hit), you'll recognize someone in Klam's stories. Some stories carry a lesson about how to keep friendships alive, some are just laugh-out-loud funny, but all of them will make you appreciate the friends you have. -
