The boyfriend effect / by Ryan, Kendall,author.(CARDINAL)406018;
"I'm not boyfriend material. If a trail of broken hearts, and a piss-poor record of failed relationships have taught me anything, it's this. My buddies are happy to give me shit about my latest breakup from here to next Sunday. Thanks, but I'd rather have a root canal. And a vasectomy. At the same time. But my relief comes in an unlikely package--the gorgeous and feisty Maren. She just so happens to be my friend's sister, so that's not awkward at all. But I'm a man on a mission, and Maren is down to teach me all the ways I've been failing as a boyfriend. Apparently, there are many. And it's all very informative--until I start to catch feels. Now it's not just my reputation on the line, but my heart too." --page [4] of cover.

Radical Friendship draws on Johnson's experience as a biracial woman and her work in anti-bias education to guide us through forming relationships that bridge differences in race, gender, sexual orientation, faith, physical ability, and more. Grounded in the Buddhist teachings of awareness, acceptance, and mindfulness, this book provides us with seven actionable strategies to make friends with ourselves and others. Johnson leads us on our journey to becoming a true friend by providing advice and guidance through every stage of a relationship, including meeting someone new, growing a friendship, or repairing existing tensions. Creating inclusive communities goes beyond a simple list of do's and don'ts, and Radical Friendship shows us the importance of working toward equality one relationship at a time."--
