Dear Readers,

We are Em and Lil, best friends and incurable busy bodies coming to you from Boston and Milwaukee.

Write in and tell us about your embarrassing dates, tough conversations, friend breakups, and more. We know we can help, because we’ve been giving each other advice for years, and we are both better than we used to be!
