Would You Survive These Friendships?

Show Notes

Friendshipsโ€ฆ but make them messy, obsessive, and unforgettable ๐Ÿ‘€

From The Kite Runner to The Secret History, weโ€™re breaking down the friendships that shaped us and the ones that completely destroyed people.

Campus obsession. Fake identities. Chosen family. Lifelong bonds.

Some of these friendships feel realโ€ฆ others feel a little too real.

So the question is which ones would you actually want in your life?
