From the trusted Bestie to the crew member of The Wolf Pack, all friendships differ in taste, style, and substance. As a reliable voice in the friendship arena, Ms. Zangara fields a number of relational questions from Laura Greenback, author of the article, What’s Your Friendship Style. With her unique understanding of female relational issues, Ms. Zangara delivers an abundance of sound, effective advice to an engaged audience of young readers.

Teens and ’tweens often feel trapped in unhealthy relationships, lacking the necessary social skills to make a change without hurting one—or both—parties. Instead, the friendship continues on a downhill trajectory until it finally reaches a point beyond hope of any repair.

Ms. Zangara’s wide-ranging case studies illustrate that women, caught in a detrimental relationship, frequently become isolated and distant—thinking instead that somehow their particular situation, or set of circumstances, is unusual.

Surviving Female Friendships: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly delivers hope, encouragement, and associated skills to modify, or de-bug, any struggling female friendship. But more than anything else, Ms. Zangara’s goal is to bring validation to thousands of women suffering under the yoke of an unhealthy relationship.
