Praise for We Used to Be Friends

“Amy Spalding knows that best friendships are love stories, and this one is complex, earnest, and unflinching. A must-read for anyone who's ever had or lost a friend.”
Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

“We Used to Be Friends chronicles the end of a friendship with a bittersweet authenticity balanced by Amy Spalding's trademark humor. This book will break your heart only like a best friend can.”
Maurene Goo, author of Somewhere Only We Know

“Amy Spalding spins a story of friendship, family, love, and longing as perfect and bittersweet as the last days of summer.”
Rebecca Podos, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of Like Water

The author effectively conveys the ways that a desire for perfection can keep people at arm’s length, how not telling people things makes it harder to tell them later, and how silence can come to feel like a lie... Spalding shows with sensitivity how the pain of losing a close friend can seep into everything.
