A woman can always count on are her friendsβ€”right? But what if those friendships are hurtful, harmful, even toxic? Susan Shapiro Barash explores the ten types of female friends and shows you why and how women get stuck with the worst kinds, the ways to get β€œunstuck, and how to recognize a true friend.” For example: β€’ The Leader of the Packβ€”it’s all on her terms β€’ The Doormatβ€”and why you’re the one paying the price β€’ The Misery Loverβ€”she wants to feel your pain. Really. β€’ The Userβ€”and why you seldom see her coming β€’ The Trophy Friendβ€”and what you gain from each other Provocative and fascinating, Susan Shapiro Barash looks at the bonds (and bondage) of female friendships in a new light.
