MWF seeking BFF


This is exactly how the title reads. Married White Female seeking Best Friend Forever. 

When I first came across this book, I was intrigued, as someone who has lived in 3 continents and travelled around the world I could relate. At the time I read this book, I had just moved to Calgary two years prior and I totally understood the feeling of having a lot of BFFs outside of the city/country you live in. 

What I liked about Rachel Bertsche's social experiment, was not just the dedication she put into her 52 girl dates and the hilarious stories that those produced, but also the 'factual' side of it. The interviews with various professionals talking about the benefits of friends and the effects on your overall health, and why a thriving social network is important were particularly interesting and I learned a bunch.

This was a fun easy read and a good book to pick up for those lazy summer days.
