This no-nonsense guide delves into the most trying difficulties faced in maintaining friendships—difficulties seldom discussed between friends in conflict or covered in relationship manuals. Combining revealing anecdotes with expert research, the guide addresses every friendship roadblock imaginable, including "third wheel" syndrome; being friends with a nasty gossip; surviving a not-so-hot vacation with a friend; and, of course, falling in love with a best friend. Including a quiz to help forecast your friendship future with a given person, this vital volume is for anyone who wants to become a better friend.
