This concept always reminds me of my grandma and her bestie ❤️ they were like platonic wives for 50 years. Thank you for this reminder 🩷

boy do i have more recs!! • Sea Change by Gina Chung (childhood best friends PLUS mending cousin relationship) • Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth (it mainly focuses on the romance, but there is a lot of internal dialogue about the nature and force of a childhood group of girl friends) • Are You Listening? by Tillie Walden (more of a lesbian mentor roadtrip but i think their relationship has a very similar quality)

i love my girls 🫶🏼🫶🏼 such a great list!!

fantastically sweet and earnest list !! love love love
