You're the Only One I Can Tell: Inside the Language of Women's Friendships by Deborah Tannen
2.0
I have a feeling that you only really need to read one Deborah Tannen book in your lifetime.
The good parts of this were rehashed from the more broadly applicable and more insightful That's Not What I Meant! The less good parts were stuff that you already know if you have ever been a female at any point. There was some odd stuff about social media norms at the end which, similarly, you already know if you have ever been on social media.
There were also a weird amount of anecdotes centering around ladies' bridge-playing groups for some reason?
