A Smart And ThoughtProvoking Memoir, History, And Cultural Critique About The Turmoil And Complexity Of Female Friendshipour Culture Today Is Inundated With Narratives About The Strength Of Female Friendship, Whether Through Images Of Girl Power, Bffs, Or Work Wives. Yet Cultural Historian Tiffany Watt Smith Has Always Found Her Own Life Much Messier. She Has Had Dramatic Friend Breakups, Friendships That Felt Like Too Much Or Not Enough, Friendships That Drifted Into Silence, And Friendships Built On Convenience Rather Than A Meeting Of Minds. And There Are Older Cultural Scripts To Contend With: The Competitive Rival, The Jealous Backstabber, The Underminer, The FairWeather Friend.We Have All Been Bad Friends. ItS Impossible To Be A Perfect One; As Watt Smith Points Out, WomenS Friendships Have Long Been Magnified, Scrutinized, Praised, And Admonished, Creating A Legacy Of Impossible Ideals. In Bad Friend, Watt Smith Reflects On Her Own Experience And Thoroughly Mines The Rich Cultural History Of Female Friendship To Look For A New Paradigm That Might Encompass The Struggles Along With The Joy.
