âOld Enough is full of growth, heartbreak, and winsome bisexual chaos.ââVogue
A debut novel âas astute, funny, and loving as your best friend from collegeâ* about a young bisexual woman who is pulled between a new sense of community and loyalty to a friendship sheâs outgrown
*Isle McElroy
Savannah "Sav" Henry is almost the person she wants to be, or at least she's getting closer. Itâs the second semester of her sophomore year. Sheâs finally come out as bisexual, is making friends with the other queers in her dorm, and has just about recovered from her disastrous first queer âsituationship.â She is cautiously optimistic that her life is about to begin.
Â
But when she learns that Izzie, her best friend from childhood, has gotten engaged, Sav faces a crisis of confidence. Things with Izzie havenât been the same since what happened between Sav and Izzieâs older brother when they were sixteen. Now, with the wedding around the corner, Sav is forced to reckon with trauma she thought she could put behind her.
Â
On top of it all, Sav canât stop thinking about Wes from her Gender Studies classâsweet, funny Wes, with their long eyelashes and green backpack. Thereâs something different hereâwith Wes and with her new friends (who delight in teasing her about this face-burning crush); it feels, terrifyingly, like they might truly see her in a way no one has before.
Â
With a singularly funny, heartfelt voice, Old Enough explores queer love, community, and what it means to be a sexual assault survivor. Haley Jakobson has written a love letter to friendship and an honest depiction of what finding your people can feel likeâfor better or worse.
