Finally, Christie talks about what it was like for her other book Group (a Reese’s Book Club pick!) to be such a tremendous success. Thankfully, she met Meredith, a woman 20 years her senior who finally taught her how to be a friend (and became the inspiration for this memoir). She also talks about her life-long fear of getting close to people, which is why making and keeping friends has always been a challenge. Christie shares the details of her troubled adolescence, which included eating disorders, low self-esteem, secrecy, alcoholism in her family, toxic relationships, and a lack of girlfriends.

Zibby is joined by New York Times bestselling author and repeat MDHTTRB author Christie Tate to discuss her poignant and heartwarming memoir B.F.F.: A Memoir of Friendship Lost and Found.
