From the bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club comes a warm, funny, irresistible book that follows an improbable and lifechanging friendship over the course of forty yearsMoving NEW YORK TIMESSchwalbes memoir shines . . . Written like a true friend DAILY MAILIn his last year of university, Will thought he knew everyone he cared to know. A permhaired, out gay young man, working at an AIDS helpline in the early days of the crisis, Will found community amongst the theatre students, artists and writers.He also knew who he wanted to avoid the jocks. Wearing sporty clothes and moving in boisterous packs, the jocks seemed to be a different species entirely, one Will might encounter only at his own peril.All this changed dramatically when Will was brought into a secret society at Yale, aimed to bring together a group of opposites. On his first day, he was faced with Chris Maxey a physically imposing, loud, star wrestler who seemed to be uncomfortable around Will and embodied everything he disliked and feared.But through months of mandated dinners, and many beers, the two swapped lifestories and forged an unexpected bond that became a ballast in each others lives for forty years. A reallife The Breakfast Club story, We Should Not Be Friends is a testament to the miracle of human connection, if only we see past our differences.
