Friends Should Know When They're Not Wanted (A Sociopath's Guide to Friendship)

This is not your grandmother’s gift book. Sarcastic with a cutting wit, this is Pearls Before Swine creator Stephan Pastis’s particularly funny take on the anti side of friendship, shown through sarcastic comments juxtaposed with sappy photographs.

Looking for a kind and thoughtful gift to share with a bud?

Well, then you’ve picked the wrong book.

But if you’re looking for an antidote to the sweet and sappy inspirational tripe that clogs gift book shelves, you’ve just hit pay dirt.

Bless your sociopathic heart.
