A thoughtful and deeply personal exploration of friendship as one of the most intimate relationships we experience.

In BFFs, Anahit Behrooz offers a powerful reappraisal of female friendship, challenging the idea that friendship is somehow secondary to romance or family. Instead, she presents friendship as a profound site of emotional intensity, identity formation, care, and transformation.

From the exhilaration of shared coming-of-age experiences to the heartbreak of drifting apart, the book examines the joy, vulnerability, and complexity that define close friendships across a lifetime.

Drawing on literature, film, and television, Behrooz explores portrayals of friendship through works such as those by Toni Morrison and Elena Ferrante, alongside contemporary cultural touchstones including Booksmart, Grey’s Anatomy, Insecure, and The Virgin Suicides.

Insightful, emotionally resonant, and culturally rich, BFFs celebrates friendship not as a lesser form of love, but as one of the most meaningful and life-shaping connections we can have.
