Reviews
"An in-depth examination of one of life's most fascinating experiences, friendship. I didn't know how much I needed this book. I needed this book at the exact moment I cracked it open. I needed it fifteen years ago, and I'm sure I'll need it again in five." * Abbi Jacobson, cocreator of Broad City and A League of Their Own *
"I can't think of a better-timed book than You Will Find Your People. We're all seeking connection more than ever, and Lane Moore answers questions about friendship that I didn't even realize I had! Prescient and important, You Will Find Your People is a necessary read." * Jessica Valenti, author of Sex Object: A Memoir *
"As someone who has always felt insecure about the friendships I have versus the ones I think I'm 'supposed to have,' this book honestly made me feel better about myself." * Rachel Bloom, Emmy Award-winning cocreator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend *
"An essential roadmap for one of the most vulnerable experiences one can attempt: making friends as an adult. Funny, beautiful, and encouraging. Lane Moore dives deep into the depth of what we humans have to offer each other and how we should do it. Why is this the first book I've ever heard of examining all the layers of making and keeping adult friendships? You'll want a highlighter because she covers it all. I've been looking for this book my entire adult life." * Judy Greer, actress and author of I Don't Know What You Know Me From *
"I love Lane Moore's work, which is always funny, vulnerable, and wise, and I appreciate how seriously she treats the project of building a rewarding, secure adulthood around relationships other than the romantic ones we've historically been told are central." * Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of All The Single Ladies *
