{"product_id":"mwf-seeking-bff-rachel-bertsche-9780345524942","title":"MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend","description":"When Rachel Bertsche first moves to Chicago, she's thrilled to finally share a zip code, let alone an apartment, with her boyfriend. But shortly after getting married, Bertsche realizes that her new life is missing one thing: friends. Sure, she has plenty of BFFs--in New York and San Francisco and Boston and Washington, D.C. Still, in her adopted hometown, there's no one to call at the last minute for girl talk over brunch or a reality-TV marathon over a bottle of wine. Taking matters into her own hands, Bertsche develops a plan: She'll go on fifty-two friend-dates, one per week for a year, in hopes of meeting her new Best Friend Forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn her thought-provoking, uproarious memoir, Bertsche blends the story of her girl-dates (whom she meets everywhere from improv class to friend rental websites) with the latest social research to examine how difficult--and hilariously awkward--it is to make new friends as an adult. In a time when women will happily announce they need a man but are embarrassed to admit they need a BFF, Bertsche uncovers the reality that no matter how great your love life is, you've gotta have friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Bertsche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0345524942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780345524942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ballantine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.30w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2011 pg. 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012","brand":"Rachel Bertsche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44311475683583,"sku":"9780345524942","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dad42edc-c4ee-4808-989b-67279601b570.jpg?v=1695722969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mwf-seeking-bff-rachel-bertsche-9780345524942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
