Book Description:

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 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.

Wednesday Wisdom

 




Welcome to Wednesday Wisdoms


Every Wednesday I will be sharing a book related wisdom quote in the hope of sharing my passion for reading books. I hope that the wisdom quotes spark an interest in reading in your life.




Today's Book Wisdom Quote




Today's wisdom quote is a classic quote that every book lover should know. When I think of this quote, I think of the rooms in my house and book nook she shed that are full of books on the shelves. I smile every time that I see the books, they are part of me, and I am part of them. 

I have to admit that I am guilty of looking for shelves of books when I visit people's homes, I mean come on what's a home without books gracing the shelves? I also have to admit that people have caught me shaking my head and when they ask me what's the matter, I ask them where's the books ... SMH ... yup I am one of those unapologetic book people who promotes the benefit of reading to everyone ... sigh 

So can I get an Amen when it comes to filling shelves with books that you love! 📚🕮
