So Old, So Young by Grant Ginder
Review
This book is so messy. Too many non-discript characters to remember. Some of them even have similar names. It was hard to keep who’s who’s, especially if you are with the audiobook. There is also no real point to the story. All I could think while reading this is when are we going to get to the story. None of the characters developed enough depth, to be honest. I was thoroughly disappointed by this book.

❝ They were going to lose parts of themselves that they had thought were irreplaceable, only to find that they didn’t miss them at all. There was no other option, nothing else to do. Because staying young forever wasn’t just impossible – it was exhausting. No one was meant to shoulder that amount of possibility for very long. ❞
❝ They were never going to stop growing up, and there was nothing they could do to change that❞
❝So easy to be cruel—kindness, on the other hand, required a tremendous amount of work.❞

How did we get So Old, So Young?
From Grant Ginder, the bestselling author of The People We Hate at the Wedding, comes a novel of impending millennial middle age that is part love story, part tragic comedy. Five parties over the course of two decades bring six college friends together, exploring the ways we can 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.
