Oh Anna, this was such a good read and inspiring - I love the idea that we need strategy to get the friendships we deserve. Also how wonderful to have hung out in your pyjamas with a pal just a week ago and I'm glad you are enjoying fabulous friendships at 45 - you give me hope! - and thanks ever so for mentioning my substack too - what a treat!

It really so sad! But every problem is an opportunity to come up with a workable solution.

Statistically the 40s are the loneliest and least happy decade so good on you for leaping over that.

I love this, and am VERY excited for your book! Want to do a Substack Q&A about it around your launch?

OMG yes! I would *love* that!
