Book SynopsisTrade Review“An in-depth examination of one of life's most fascinating experiences, friendship. I didn't know how much I needed this book. I needed this book at the exact moment I cracked it open. I needed it fifteen years ago, and I’m sure I’ll need it again in five.” * Abbi Jacobson, cocreator of Broad City and A League of Their Own *“I can't think of a better-timed book than You Will Find Your People. We're all seeking connection more than ever, and Lane Moore answers questions about friendship that I didn't even realize I had!

I’ve been looking for this book my entire adult life.” * Judy Greer, actress and author of I Don’t Know What You Know Me From *"I love Lane Moore's work, which is always funny, vulnerable, and wise, and I appreciate how seriously she treats the project of building a rewarding, secure adulthood around relationships other than the romantic ones we've historically been told are central.” * Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of All The Single Ladies *
