Allie Volpe
A practical guide to building your friendship ecosystem in a busy, disconnected world, from Vox correspondent Allie Volpe.
In We Still on for Tonight?, Vox correspondent Allie Volpe explores modern friendship through the lens of burnout, distraction, and digital overload, asking what it really takes to stay meaningfully connected in an increasingly disconnected world. Your friends don’t hate you, and no—bailing on one coffee date doesn’t mean they do.
Rather than treating friendship as something that simply happens, Volpe reframes it as something we actively shape and sustain: an ecosystem that must be cared for amid busy, overstretched lives. In an age of social media anxiety, parasocial spirals, and constantly drained social batteries, Volpe examines why maintaining that ecosystem feels harder than ever and what we can actually do about it.
Drawing on years of reporting, personal experience, and stories of how people actually live, Volpe blends rigorous journalism, cultural insight, and empathetic storytelling with actionable challenges for tending that ecosystem, exploring one of the most urgent questions of modern life: how we build and maintain relationships. Think of it like a garden, learning what to keep, what to cut back, and what to let grow.
The result is a grounded, practical, and deeply human guide to rebuilding your “friendship ecosystem” with more intention, resilience, and real connection.
Kritikerröster
"Brimming with wit and empathy, Allie Volpe’s We Still On for Tonight? is both a thoughtful examination of friendship’s role in our lives and culture, and the call to action we need to reconnect, reach out, and center friendship. Volpe weaves together fascinating research, anecdotes from friends of all kinds, and the personal wisdom of someone who has been there, done that to illustrate the need for a 'friendship ecosystem,' and ensures readers have the knowledge to take this idea off the page and into their real lives. Moving and full of practical advice, this is the book that will make you want to call your friends, or even make a new one." —Rainesford Stauffer, author of An Ordinary Age and All the Gold Stars
"Allie Volpe is equal parts expert and best friend, and she has written the definitive guide to adult friendship. She doesn't just tell you why friendship matters; she teaches you how to actually show up for your own. Meticulously researched, deeply honest, and packed with practical wisdom you'll want to implement in your own relationships before you've finished reading, We Still On for Tonight? will transform not just your friendships, but also your understanding of what it means to support the people you love."
—Sarah Levy, author of Drinking Games
"...With warmth, vulnerability, and sharp reporting, Volpe reminds us that friendship is not something that simply happens to us. It’s something we nurture. What makes this book so powerful is her ability to translate emotional experiences we all recognize into actionable understanding. This book will inspire you to reconnect, reach out, and cultivate the kinds of relationships that truly sustain us."
—Maria Avgitidis, bestselling author of Ask a Matchmaker
