University life promises connection: late-night talks, inside jokes, shared dreams, and chosen family. But behind the smiles and selfies often lie lessons no one warns you about.
'Before You Call Them Friends' is simply a collection raw, character-driven chapters inspired by real-life experiences. Each one reveals a different kind of friend you'll meet on the journey from youth to adulthood: the one that confuses control for care, the one who won't stand up for you, the one who disappears into love, the one who cares mostly just about convenience and more.
Through honest narration, these stories peel back the polished surface of "college friendship" to expose the truth beneath - how easily love turns to obligation, how invisibility can hurt more than hate, and how growing up often means outgrowing the people you once called your own.
