Will, Dan and Holly talk about friendship with book recommendations
coming straight away from Holly, who loves Expectation by Anna
Hope. Dan talks about a Waterstones event for Empathy Day and how
reading, empathy and friendship are all connected. We get to hear
from Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-winner Angie Thomas talking
about friendship in the wake of her huge success with The Hate U
Give. Tash Aw talks about how his international life puts a huge
pressure on friendship and why it requires work to succeed. And to
finish off we drop into an event featuring Yomi Adegoke and
Elizabeth Uviebenene, authors of Slay In Your Lane. The two best
friends talk about how their book began and how their friendship
helped them to share more of themselves through it. BOOKS
