Claire Cohen is an award-winning journalist, named Women's Editor

Priyanka Chopra to Samantha Cameron, about how they turned
self-doubt into success - and regularly appears as a commentator on
the BBC and national radio, as well as being an experienced public
speaker. In 2021, she was listed as one of Britain's Top 50
trailblazers for gender equality.
Claire has written for publications including the Telegraph,

her husband and their tiny cat. BFF? is her first book.
BFF? ... inspired me to try to be braver about confronting niggling
issues with friends in future.
*The Telegraph*
Claire's writing is as clever as it is kind - cheering, wise and
reassuring. BFF is like having a best mate on your bookshelf, and
I'll be giving it to all of the women I love!

Having seriously struggled with friendship over the years, I picked
up this wonderful book feeling like an imposter and put it down
feeling hugely relieved. Claire Cohen calmly and brilliantly irons
out the shaming crinkles in how we can think about female
friendship, reframing it with analysis, understanding, and
appreciation. This terrific book more than stands its ground
against the tyrannical memories of Forever Friends merchandise
while making a heartening case for a portfolio of friendship
types.
*editor of No One Talks about This Stuff*
GRAZIA SUMMER READ. With input from psychologists, experts and
women's women like Jane Garvey and MP Jess Phillips, Cohen
interrogates the myths and pop culture tropes around female
friendship and highlights the pressure points.
