International Friends

This month, we’re using Worst Idea Ever by Jane Fallon as a starting point, but the focus is on the conversation, not the book. Reading is completely optional. 🗓 Date: Saturday, 25th April 2026 🕚 Time: 11:00 AM 💭 Conversation Themes: - Real friendship vs the version we perform online - Do we ever truly know our closest friends? - Jealousy between friends, normal or toxic? This is a space for open, honest discussion around friendship, perception, and the complexities of relationships. Expect thoughtful questions, different perspectives, and meaningful exchanges. Come whether you’ve read the book, heard about it, or are simply interested in the topic. The value is in the conversation and the people around the table.
