"[Klam's] smartest book yet…amusing, poignant…a rollicking must-read." - People "The book you will want to give all your best friends, not as a nudge-nudge, hint-hint reminder of what it takes to be a good friend, but rather as a celebration of just how great friends can be. And if they (or you) pick up a few hints on how to be a good friend, so much the better for everyone. We all need reminding once in awhile that connection takes more than just showing up for drinks or a walk -- and Klam offers the reminders with her usual big heart, goofy humor, and open admissions." - The Huffington Post "[Klam is] taking seriously something, namely adult friendships, that often turns into the wallpaper of cultural life: something that's there, and that's lovely, and that ideally you don't have to think about, but not something that you would delve into deeply." -NPR.org "A smart read… with incisive one-liners and self-deprecating humor… Klam's warmth and wit is enough to keep this book light and engaging."- USA Today "Klam addresses real relationships and the raw problems of human life... [and] shares her personal, honest, funny, and poignant friend experiences" - The Atlantic Wire "A jolly, largehearted book…Julie Klam makes no claim to being a fancy expert. She has lived her expertise. Her own life is her source of knowledge… charming, nostalgic, informative." - The Washington Post "These pages are strewn with nuggets of wisdom and witticism…[a] warm hearted book." - Dayton Daily News "Klam's voice is often flat-out hilarious… [she] never fails to come up with terrific comic vignettes and sharp one-liners… highly entertaining." - Kirkus Reviews "Klam is funny. Not cute or amusing, but laugh-out-loud, borderline too-much-information funny… With Friendkeeping , Klam proves that she is no one-trick pony." - BookPage "Julie Klam is one funny writer." -David Rakoff, author of Don't Get Too Comfortable and Fraud, "Julie Klam is one funny writer." -David Rakoff, author of Don't Get Too Comfortable and Fraud "[Julie Klam] can break your heart with one hand but then lift your spirits higher than a kite." - The Huffington Post, "[Klam's] smartest book yet…amusing, poignant…a rollicking must-read." - People "[Klam is] taking seriously something, namely adult friendships, that often turns into the wallpaper of cultural life: something that's there, and that's lovely, and that ideally you don't have to think about, but not something that you would delve into deeply." -NPR.org "Klam addresses real relationships and the raw problems of human life...
