I Think I Am In Friend-Love With You

YALSA Quick Pick Award Winner

Express your love for your friends with this sweet, loving book that celebrates the joy of true friendship.

I have a confession to make.
I think I am in friend-love with you.

What’s friend-love? It’s that super-awesome bond you share with someone who makes you happy every time you text each other, or meet up for an epic outing. It’s not love-love. You don’t want to swap saliva; you want to swap favorite books. But it’s just as intense and just as amazing.

And it’s this search for that connection that comic-book artist Yumi Sakugawa captures in I Think I Am in Friend-Love with You. It’s perfect if you've ever fallen in friend-love and want to show that person how much you love them...in a platonic way, of course.

Praise for I Think I Am In Friend-Love With You

"The warmth of Yumi's soft brushstrokes and vulnerability of her words make me feel less alone in this weird world. I think I am in book-love." - Lisa Hanawalt, author of My Dirty Dumb Eyes

"I Think I am In Friend Love With You...chronicles a bashful cyclops with a good old fashioned friend crush. Sakaguwa's comics, while being hilarious, are imbued with a quiet magic that somehow makes a glowing computer screen as ripe with beauty and mystery as a night sky full of twinkling stars." - Huffington Post Arts

"Wonderfully touching...comic book artist Yumi Sakugawa has figured out the modern logistics of 21st platonic romance. In addition to her many wise words, Sakugawa's irresistible, imaginative, charming illustrations add layered examples of how to be a giving, deserving friend.... All those instant social media connections aside, nothing replaces face-to-face, livetime, friend-love-ly sessions of sharing and caring."
