Bookseller recommendation

“This book will be very nostalgic for my fellow 30-something-year-old millennials out there! It covered a lot of the perils of middle age and the evolution of friendships over a lifetime. Realistic but hopeful. ”

Bookseller recommendation

“It’s wonderful to dive into the lives of multiple characters and relate to each at some point in their life. This book had me hooked to see how the various relationships evolved over the course of time. Will they or won’t they? Forgiveness and surprises. My emotions went up and down, and my favorites changed along the way, too. I was invested. ”
— Carrie • Interabang Books

Bookseller recommendation

“This story is close to home for East Coast millennials. Set in New York over 20 years and 5 parties, I loved getting to know the characters in detail. Told from a variety of perspectives, every character was uniquely lovable and infuriating. You’ll love it if you enjoyed Blue Sisters or The Rachel Incident! ”

“This book is perfection. The characterization is superb. Only thing I didn’t like is that it had to end. ”

Bookseller recommendation

“So Old, So Young by Grant Ginder is the opposite of a slice of life. We follow several college friends up until middle age through vignettes of their lives. There are a lot of diverse experiences of all kinds through the various characters. I wouldn't call this one fun, although parts of it are, but it isn't a devastating read, either. I loved it for what it is, an examination of the little choices we make that have a bigger impact than we anticipated. ”

Summary
About the author

A Most Anticipated Novel of 2026 by Time, Town & Country, Bustle, and Zibby Media • February Book Club Pick by Good Housekeeping “Grant Ginder has written The Big Chill of our times…and possibly done an even better job. So Old, So Young is a triumph. I will never forget these characters.” —Elin Hilderbrand “So Old, So Young is a story of romantic love, professional jealousy, misplaced longing, and—above all—the gift of lifelong friendship. You will laugh on every page, except for when you find yourself moved to tears.” —Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street 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.
