Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends

by Marisa G. Franco

I had to articulate the ways I held romantic relationships in such high regard so that they controlled my happiness: as if there was no love in my life at all without this kind of love.

I gathered a few of my very best friends to start a wellness group. Every week, we met up and one of us chose a self-care activity

Although I had, until then, devalued the significance of friendship in favor of romance, after the wellness group, I could no longer diminish the colossal importance of friends.
