The Friend Who Got Away: Twenty Women's True Life Tales of Friendships that Blew Up, Burned Out or Faded Away by Jenny Offill
This is one of those books I am reading slowly, on purpose, because it is that compelling. It's a bunch of essays detailing why/how different frienships ended. It's not just the stories that grip you, but the feelings behind the events, and how ending a friendship can be just as painful as a broken heart. This book is especially poignent for me right now, as evaluate a certain 20-year friendship and what place it holds in my life right now.
