While We’re Young is a vibrant and heartfelt contemporary YA romance that blends nostalgia, adventure, and the complexities of friendship and love.
Inspired by the 80s classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, this book delivers an irresistible mix of fun, chaos, and deep emotion.
Set against the backdrop of Philadelphia, the story follows Grace Barbour, a straight-A student on the cusp of graduation. While academic success should be her main focus, Grace is consumed by one pressing concern mending the broken bond between her best friend, Isa, and her former friend, Everett.
Desperate to bring their trio back together before they go their separate ways, she orchestrates an unsanctioned Senior Skip Day, drawing inspiration from her brother James’ rebellious streak. What follows is a whirlwind adventure of spontaneous plans, stolen moments, and a day that could change everything.
The chemistry between Grace and Everett is undeniable, and their slow-burn romance, intertwined with tangled relationships and unspoken truths, makes for a gripping read.
One of the book’s standout features is its multi-perspective narrative, offering insights into different characters’ emotions and motivations. The Philadelphia setting is another highlight, bringing authenticity and charm to the story, as the characters navigate familiar streets and iconic spots that hold both memories and new possibilities.
While We’re Young is a celebration of youth, love, and the friendships that define us. It embraces the magic of spontaneity and the bittersweet nature of growing up, making it both an entertaining and deeply touching read.
