MWF SEEKING BFF: MY YEARLONG SEARCH FOR A NEW BEST FRIEND
Book ID/图书代码： 01240011B46682
English Summary/英文概要： When Rachel Bertsche first moves to Chicago, she’s thrilled to finally share a zip code, let alone an apartment, with her boyfriend. But shortly after getting married, Bertsche realizes that her new life is missing one thing: friends. Sure, she has plenty of BFFs—in New York and San Francisco and Boston and Washington, D.C. Still, in her adopted hometown, there’s no one to call at the last minute for girl talk over brunch or a reality-TV marathon over a bottle of wine. Taking matters into her own hands, Bertsche develops a plan: She’ll go on fifty-two friend-dates, one per week for a year, in hopes of meeting her new Best Friend Forever. In her thought-provoking, uproarious memoir, Bertsche blends the story of her girl-dates (whom she meets everywhere from improv class to friend rental websites) with the latest social research to examine how difficult—and hilariously awkward—it is to make new friends as an adult. In a time when women will happily announce they need a man but are embarrassed to admit they need a BFF, Bertsche uncovers the reality that no matter how great your love life is, you’ve gotta have friends.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 美好的友情，就像那一縷芬芳，會把你引向清新快樂的世界……
只要還有一點記憶，一點機緣，我們的故事就會走向永遠……
瑞秋初到芝加哥之際，她對於能可以和男朋友共用一個郵編號碼都興奮不已，更不要說可以和心愛之人共用一間公寓了。可是婚後不久，瑞秋就發現自己新生活缺少了一樣非常重要東西：朋友。當然，她有很多很好的朋友，不過他們都在紐約，三藩市，波士頓以及華盛頓。同樣，在收養她的家鄉，沒有人會在早午餐的最後一分鐘打電話來說些女孩子間的悄悄話，或者喝酒的時候看著馬拉松式的紀實節目。
考慮到自己的情況，瑞秋設想了一項計畫：一年52周，周周參加一次朋友聚會，期望見到自己可以永遠珍惜的好朋友。
在這本發人深省，同時又令人捧腹大笑的回憶錄中，瑞秋把自己的交友故事和最新的社會研究，即成年人交朋友既困難又不自然這一調查結合起來。女性朋友們可以很自豪的宣佈自己需要男人，卻不願承認自己缺少永遠的好朋友。對此，瑞秋揭露了無論你愛情生活如何幸福，你必須擁有朋友這一事實。(from XMM)
