Taking it’s cute and quirky cue from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, K.L. Walther’s While We’re Young sees four high-schoolers on the cusp of college enjoy an extraordinary day to remember when they take a day off school.
While Grace has her future mapped out — she’s a straight-A student and the student president — she’s haunted by the fact that her one-time trifold friendship with Isa and Everett is broken, a result of the latter splitting up as a couple. So, she’s hatched an outlandish plan to get the old gang back together — they’ll take a day off school do something special.
Grace’s scheme to make this happen is hilariously outlandish, and takes considerable commitment. Unlike her happy-go-lucky brother James, Grace never skips school, and neither does Isa. But somehow, she pulls it off, though she hadn’t anticipated James tracking them down, or the emotional twists and turns that unfold through the day.
With a cool concept and structure — the action takes place over a single day — While We’re Young explores the complex relationships between the quartet of characters in engaging style, revealing the rekindling of sibling connections and friendship bonds, while the flames of new romances are fanned.

About
While We're Young Synopsis
An epic road-trip romance from NYT-bestselling author of TikTok sensation The Summer of Broken Rules, inspired by the 80s classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Tangled relationships, friends-to-lovers, secret romance and a hint of spice – this will steal every romance fan’s heart
Graduation is fast approaching for straight-A student, Grace Barbour. But all she can think about is mending the fractured friendship trio of her best friend, Isa, and former friend, Everett. The trick is getting them all in the same place at the same time (and trying to ignore the fact that seeing Everett makes her heart skip a beat ...).
Taking a page from her brother James' playbook, Grace decides that an unsanctioned Senior Skip Day is what they need. Convincing Isa to go along on the adventure is one thing, kidnapping Everett from school another, and avoiding James catching on is a true miracle ...
Four friends. One day off. A whole heap of trouble - this is the perfect love story for readers to escape with this summer and ticks all the boxes for fans of Carley Fortune, Lynn Painter and Emily Henry.
