Look, there are two ways to go. Do you freeze in place, looking backwards all the time or do you move on?

Summer 2021. Lockdown is over. Just.

Three months ago Milo lost his wife to Covid. She was only forty five. So young.

Tonight he has invited his two oldest pals, Davie and Liane, to come round and drink some wine, listen to some tunes and reminisce about the olden days.

And there's something else He wants them to meet the new love of his life. Her name is Greta. They met online. And she's twenty years old.

From the celebrated writer of Decky Does a Bronco and I Can Go Anywhere, Douglas Maxwell's So Young sees an innocuous evening slide towards ruin as old friends face the challenges of middle age the pull of the past and the promise of the future.
