Summary

In today's episode, Mystie and Brandy use part of CS Lewis' book The Four Loves to discuss friendship – how Lewis defines it, if we womenfolk are capable of it, and how it's different from other things like companionship and affection. We wrap up by applying this to … yes! … book clubs. We think you'll love this.
