Rachel Bertsche’s MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend
“I couldn’t put it down.” – Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project
When Rachel Bertsche first moves to Chicago, she’s thrilled to finally share a zip code, let alone an apartment, with her boyfriend. But shortly after getting married, Bertsche realizes that her new life is missing one thing: friends. Sure, she has plenty of BFFs—in New York and San Francisco and Boston and Washington, D.C. Still, in her adopted hometown, there’s no one to call at the last minute for girl talk over brunch or a reality-TV marathon over a bottle of wine. Taking matters into her own hands, Bertsche develops a plan: She’ll go on fifty-two friend-dates, one per week for a year, in hopes of meeting her new Best Friend Forever.
In her thought-provoking, uproarious memoir, Bertsche blends the story of her girl-dates (whom she meets everywhere from improv class to friend rental websites) with the latest social research to examine how difficult—and hilariously awkward—it is to make new friends as an adult. In a time when women will happily announce they need a man but are embarrassed to admit they need a BFF, Bertsche uncovers the reality that no matter how great your love life is, you’ve gotta have friends.

Wishing everyone at random house readers circle a very merry Christmas and happy reading new year thanks so much and the book mff seeking bff sounds like a wonderful book to share with special friends.
Love your trailer, really well done…now I am going to delete mine from the internet! lol..just kidding…Your trailer makes me want to buy the book and read it. I find your subject matter to be a very important subject not mentioned much in public circles…no one wants to admit they need friends. Very nice idea. When my book finally gets out there (a month to go) I will pick up your book and read it….may even buy some for people I know who are just like in your book…love it!
