As a society, there is a tendency to elevate romantic love.

But what about friendships?

Aren’t they just as – if not more – important?

Friendaholic unpacks the significance and evolution of friendship from the ancient wisdom of Cicero to the modern curse of ghosting.

How and why do we make friends?

Is friendship an antidote to loneliness?

How should we deal with a frenemy?

And is it ok to end a friendship that has gone awry?
