Amanda Anderson writes with wit, humor and warmth about her own findings, failings, and growth as she has struggled to find, and to be, a good friend to others and to herself.

Her journey is filled with relatable, sometimes embarrassing, and several 'AHA' moments that easily resonate with her readers.

If you too, have longed to Build Remarkable Relationships with Imperfect People (Like Me), this book is for you! And for so many others (perhaps not as self-aware as you are!) as well.

Well done, Ms. Anderson. You get 4.5 rounded up to 5 stars from me!!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishers for allowing me the privilege of reading this delightful book in exchange for an unbiased reviews. All opinions expressed are my own.

Great read! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I requested it because I have a teenage daughter, and she believes that she is the only one with “issues.” I have tried to explain that everyone has issues – maybe even her same issues. So, I thought this book might provide some insight that I could share with her. What I found was plenty of insight for myself!

Focusing on authenticity, encouragement, and accountability, Anderson provides a framework for ‘building remarkable relationships with imperfect people.” Anderson’s own authenticity rings true as she shares personal antidotes about her own friendships. She writes with the perfect balance of personal stories, good advice, and Biblical focus. Her approach to advice is very encouraging – as opposed to preachy or condensing. She seems to truly want everyone to enjoy the full capacity of friendships.

I marked a ton of highlights in my book. There are amazing thoughts on grace and what it truly means to be a friend. It will have an audience with adult women, but the majority of the book can apply to teenage girls as well. I will definitely be sharing it with mine.

Friendships are a key part of my life. I often blog about friendships I treasure – as well as a bunch of other things - at www.Patch405.com.
