I really enjoyed this! Cohen did a good job of using different stories to highlight different ways in which strong friendships are sidelined by society. The reason it's not five stars is that I really wish there had been more of a discussion of how the topic is informed by race/racism, capitalism, and the ways friendship often works differently (with more expansive options) in queer communities and BIPOC communities than cishet western ones. It's touched on but I would've liked more. 

I would also have loved to see a story about two platonic partners with "matching" sexual orientations (e.g., a straight or bi woman and a straight or bi man, or two bi or gay people, etc.), but I recognize that the author can't just decide what stories she wants to tell and have those people appear in front of her.
