TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET HOME - KAYLEEN SCHAEFER KA...

Text Me has the thrills and laughs of a romantic comedy  but with an inverted message: There
just isn't only one love story in our lives  Schaefer writes. If you re lucky  friends will be
the protagonists in these multiple love stories. It s high time that we start seeing it that
way. NPR.orgA personal and sociological examination and ultimately a celebration of the
evolution of female friendship in pop culture and modern society For too long  women have been
told that we are terrible at being friends  that we can t help being cruel or competitive  or
that we inevitably abandon each other for romantic partners. But we are rejecting those
stereotypes and reclaiming the power of female friendship. In Text Me When You Get Home 
journalist Kayleen Schaefer interviews more than one hundred women about their BFFs  soulmates
girl gangs  and queens while tracing this cultural shift through the lens of pop culture. Our
love for each other is reflected in Abbi and Ilana  Issa and Molly  #squadgoals  the acclaim of
Girls Trip and Big Little Lies  and Galentine s Day. Schaefer also includes her own history of
grappling with a world that told her to rely on men before she realized that her true source of
support came from a strong tribe of women. Her personal narrative and celebration of her own
relationships weaves throughout the evolution of female friendship on-screen  a serious look at
how women have come to value one another and our relationships. Text Me When You Get Home is a
validation that has never existed before. A thoughtful  heart-soaring  deeply reported look at
how women are taking a stand for their friendships and not letting go.
