“The writing is so good it left me breathless. (Please someone make it into a series!) So Old, So Young is a triumph. I will never forget these characters.' — Elin Hilderbrand

'I gulped it down on a plane, taking breaks to recall my own friend group from college. The people who are your real friends, the novel invites us to remember, often drive you completely crazy.' — The New York Times

Six Friends.
Five Parties.
Twenty Years…
How did we get So Old, So Young?

From Grant Ginder, the bestselling author of The People We Hate at the Wedding, comes a generation-defining novel that is part love story, part tragic comedy. Five parties over the course of twenty years bring six college friends together, exploring the ways we run from and cling to our friends in love, life, and death.

For Marco and Mia, Sasha and Theo, Richie and Adam, the one constant in life after college together has been change. New jobs. New cities. New spouses. New children. Through it all, one thing they thought would always stay the same is their friendship.

But time has a way of breaking even the strongest bonds, and testing what we thought we knew. From East Village apartment parties and disastrous destination weddings, to fortieth birthdays and suburban backyard barbecues, Grant Ginder’s resonant, funny, and deeply moving novel is a story about the growing pains of the Millennial generation, and a celebration of how love can shift, stumble, and grow into something bigger than we ever could have imagined.

This is a story told from six different points of view. Spanning from their early twenties in college, to their early forties as adults that aren't yet old, but not so young anymore, either. Every personality type is represented among this group of friends. There's the bad-boy, the good-boy, the gay-boy. You have the rich-girl, the smart-girl, the annoying-girl. A lot happens in the span of twenty years when you're trying to figure out who you're meant to be in life. If you associate pop culture songs to periods of your life, like I do, I promise, you will not be disappointed! The casual mention of what song and artist is playing in the background was not lost on me, and much appreciated! You will read about trials and tribulations of drug use, alcohol addiction, marriages, breakups, becoming a parent, and even the sudden death of best friend who died too young. But I promise, the laughs along the way make it worth the ride!

This book was pretty boring. That being said, I did finish it in hopes it would get better. It is the story of a group of friends throughout their lives. Basic reality. I listen to escape. No escape here. Just a boring story.
