From Lane Moore, the critically acclaimed author of How to Be Alone, comes a searingly intimate, yet wildly funny exploration of the frustrating, messy, and, at times, deeply joyful experience of learning how to make meaningful friendships as an adult.

Part memoir, part self-help, You Will Find Your People uncovers the complex, frightening, and often vulnerable process of building real, healthy friendships and finally creating your chosen family. Moore takes readers on a journey that examines and challenges the ideas of friendship we've seen in pop culture, answers every question you've ever had about friend breakups, and teaches us how to fearlessly ask for what we want in friendships once and for all.

Full of Moore's hilarious personal anecdotes, advice on how to identify your attachment style, and real tools to create better communication and boundaries, this book is your personal guide on how to heal from your past friendships, improve your current ones, and finally have the friendships we know we deserve.

      This book is comedian/actor/musician Moore's self-help response to her autobiographical How To Be Alone: If You Want To and Even If You Don't, whose subtitle, simultaneously reassuring and lackadaisical, could also apply to this latest work. Gone is the simple childhood BFF bonding over favorite crayon colors: Moore's myriad descriptions of types of adult friendships (family, animals, exes, coworkers, frenemies, roomies, casual/close, on paper, virtual, parasol/umbrella) and their attendant intricacies mirror the breadth and complexities of finding, evaluating, sustaining, and sometimes severing these relationships. From the first chapter (which assures readers that they're not alone in friendship-seeking, that friendships take work, and, ultimately, that "you deserve to have friendships") to the final chapter (a reminder that "finding your people is all of these things. It's grief, and hope, and fear, and work, and adjustment and communication"), Moore is like an older sister who takes your hand and leans in for a chat. VERDICT For readers unfamiliar with Moore's writing or comedy, this encouraging book dispenses practical and quirky advice packaged in quickly read chapters. For both fans and critics of Moore's previous book, this is straightforward advice on how not to be alone by making friends.--Rita Baladad
