Book: While We’re Young

Author: K.L. Walther

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Children’s for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Grace, Isa, and Everett are seniors in high school and are all best friends. Things started getting a bit messy with all of their love lives, which caused their friendship to take a hit. So they skipped school to explore the city of Philadelphia which I really enjoyed.

I loved that the story was told through multiple POV’s with each character. Each chapter was based on another character which flowed really well.

The description says the book is inspired by the 1980’s classic movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I think it more than inspired it, the majority of the book reminded me of the movie with just a few modern tweaks to it. I am still going back and forth on how I feel about that. I love the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, but I think I just wish the book was more loosely based on it.

Overall, I did enjoy this YA romance and I loved them repairing friendships and fixing things with one another.

Final Score: 3/5
