Text Me When You Get Home: The Evolution and Triumph of Modern Female Friendship by Kayleen Schaefer

"From Girls to Parks and Recreation to Bridesmaids, the female friendship has taken an undeniable front seat in pop culture. Text Me When You Get Home is a personal and sociological perspective - and ultimately a celebration - of the evolution of the modern female friendship. A validation of female friendship unlike any that's ever existed before, this book is a mix of historical research, the author's own personal experience, and conversations about friendships across the country. Everything Schaefer uncovers leads to - and makes the case for - the eventual conclusion that these ties among women are making us (both as individuals and as society as a whole) stronger than ever before."*

This book was not only filled with personal anecdotes but also many examples of the female friendship in movies. TV shows and books. The writing was well thought out and followed a good narrative. While reading this it definitely made me thinker harder about my past and present relationships with friends. Friendship can be such a powerful thing in someone's life and it was good to be reminded of this.
