Why Is Friendship In Your 30s So Hard? (feat. Holly Bourne)

Does friendship get harder when you're older? And if it does, why? On this week's episode of In All Honesty, Michelle is joined by acclaimed British author Holly Bourne to talk all about adult friendships.

Holly is the author of the bestselling novel "Am I Normal Yet?" which was praised for its realistic portrayal of OCD, as well as "How Do You Like Me Now?". She was shortlisted for the 2018 YA Book Prize from The Bookseller. Her latest novel "So Thrilled For You" is out now at all good bookstores.

In this episode, Michelle and Holly talk about female friendships, how they evolve with age, and how friendships can struggle under the stress of life-changing events such as marriages, breakups, and motherhood.

Holly shares insights into writing about heavy subjects such as abuse and emotional complexity in an accessible way, and they both share anecdotes about the pressure they have felt on friendships as they have grown older.
