Making Friends...or Not: Friendship Autopsies and Other Tales

By Stephanie Hale

Ever wonder why making friends as an adult feels like walking barefoot through a LEGO minefield?

Yeah... me too.

Making Friends... or Not

(Friendship Autopsies and Other Tales)

is a brutally honest, occasionally hilarious, and sometimes cringe-inducing look at the people who've drifted, ghosted, exploded,

or imploded their way out of my life.

From church cliques and one-uppers to "friends" who only call when they need something, every story here has been stripped down, examined, and labeled "cause of death."

Names have been changed, but if you recognize yourself in these pages... well, maybe it's time for some self-reflection. Or denial. Denial works too.

This is not a guide to winning friends and influencing people-it's a survival manual for navigating the messy, awkward, sometimes toxic, occasionally magical business of human connection. And if you happen to laugh so hard you snort?

Consider it a bonus.
