If I had been alone, I may have kept up my hopes after what she said. She did say a lot of nice things about me. She said she liked being with me, said how sweet I was, said she liked that I was so patient with her. But he shook me back into reality. He said that while he was sure she meant all those things, she was just letting me down gently. Fact was, I'd heard it all before. History was repeating itself. It was, as Yogi Berra put it so eloquently, 'dj vu all over again'. Rarely has a book explored so intimately the deep feelings and emotions experienced by a guy looking for love. Based on a true story, this serious comedy highlights the author's Charlie Brown-like experiences with life and relationships. Through his interactions with nine different girls-eight of whom give him the dreaded "just friends" speech-Williams learns the ups and downs of love.

Platonic friendships have been the topic of heavy discussion over the past decade, with more and more people turning to social media and “friending” those who are unknown to them, particularly the opposite sex. Many of us can think of a person whom we are friends with who is not of the same gender, and many more of us have become blind to the fact that there is usually always something more that hovers within this limbic space of platonic friendship. A lot of us do not understand the science behind our behavior, and we are uncertain as to why we have certain feelings toward others we consider just friends. There is an evolution at work, and many of our desires and nondesires come from these evolutionary traits that we carry as primates. Although many men and women would confirm that they have a friend who is from the opposite sex and the relationship is specifically platonic, do they truly believe this? Or is there something more between them on an emotional level? The majority of humans tend to shy away from the honesty buried beneath our subconscious in order to cache our true desires for the opposite sex. Are We Just Friends? gives a clear indication as to why we do what we do as human primates and provides a clear understanding as to the types of behavior we undertake when faced with the possibility of intimate thoughts toward those we would consider friends on a platonic level.

When life looks radically different than the plan we have for ourselves, it's the lucky few that recognize God's plan is best. That's what adoptive mom Heather Avis learned, and that's the invitation of this book. As the mother of three adopted children - two with Down syndrome - Heather Avis has learned that it's truly the lucky few who get to live a life like hers, who actually recognize that God's plans are best, even when they seem so radically different from the plans we have for ourselves. When Heather started her journey into parenthood she never thought it would look like this, never planned to have three adopted children, and certainly never imagined that two of them would have Down syndrome. But like most things God does, once she stepped into the craziness and confusion that comes with the unknown and the unplanned, she realized that they were indeed among the lucky few. Discover in this book what 70,000+ followers of Heather's hit Instagram account @macymakesmyday already know: the power of faith and family can help us stay strong in the toughest times. This book will also be especially touching to those with adopted family members or children with Down syndrome in their lives.
