Two firm Festival favourites return to Henley for a special pop-up event. Having topped the iTunes and Sunday Times charts with How to Fail and Magpie, Elizabeth Day now joins us with Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict.

Growing up, Elizabeth wanted everyone to like her; lacking friends at school, she believed that quantity equalled quality. But in adulthood she slowly realised that it was often to the detriment of her own boundaries and mental health. Then, reassessing what friendship meant amid a pandemic it dawned on her that her truest friends were not the ones she had been spending most time with. From her own experiences to those of others around the world, via ghosting, frenemies, social media and communication styles, she leaves no stone unturned.

She will discuss her new book and career to date with Times Radio presenter Fi Glover, whose Did I Say That Out Loud? event with co-host Jane Garvey.
