I'm reading a great book at the moment called "Billy No-Mates: How I Realised Men Have a Friendship Problem" by Max Dickins. It's a candid, relatable, and humour-filled exploration of the challenges men face in forming and maintaining meaningful friendships, navigating emotional connections, and addressing their mental health.

As a brief synopsis: When Max Dickins contemplated proposing to his girlfriend, he found himself in an unexpected predicament—he had no one he could confidently ask to be his best man. He quickly learned that he wasn't the only man struggling with friendships.
