Many thanks to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster | Gallery Books | Scout Press for gifting me a digital ARC of this novel by Grant Ginder. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Six Friends. Five Parties. Twenty Years. Six college friends come together at five parties over twenty years - what changes, what stays the same?
While this is a story about the millennial generation, anyone can relate to looking back over your life, wondering how this decision or that brought us to where we are, and whether that's for the best or not. No matter how hard we try, maintaining close friendships and relationships over a long period of time isn't always easy or possible. I liked how this book was laid out - from the present in the prologue, to going back to that first college party, then moving forward. We hear from the POV of the different characters who sometimes view the same happenings very differently. This is a very character-driven novel, and some characters are more likable than others, but it's hard to overlook the themes we all face as we look back at how young we were, yet how old we felt then, and how old we are now.
