A story of inspiration and transformation for the really desperate housewifenow a TV series from the creator of Sex and the City, starring Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff! Shes old enough to be his mother. Alice has always looked young for her age, even with her graying hair and her dowdy New Jersey housewife style. Make that ex-housewife: Now that her husbands gone and her daughter is grown, Alice is in desperate need of a whole new life. So she lets her best friend Maggie, a hip New York City artist, transform her on New Years Eve. Soon, thanks to the wonders of hair dye and tight jeans, Alice looks really young, as one night in a Manhattan bar confirms. At midnight, she kisses a boy who was in diapers when she was in high school. Shes having too much fun to care. The white lie Alice tells Josh gets her thinking that if no one asks her age, she doesnt have to tell. So she applies for a job she had briefly before becoming a full-time momand gets it. Meanwhile, Josh is falling head over heels for Alice, whos just way cooler than girls his age. He figures shes about twenty-nineand for the first time since she was twenty-nine, or possibly ever, Alice feels that life is ripe with possibility. Unfortunately one possibility is that shes gonna get caught. Challenging the adage that the truth will set you free, Younger is a hilarious and insightful story that proves that youre only as young as you feel.

This book revealed ageism, even though it had a strong focus on "Millennials" it definitely covered the expectations of how we need to look like and demand to keep up with being "considered feminine but non threatening". ??+?=?‍♀️

Ok, so I recently started watching the show Younger and got hooked. And then I learned it was based on a book, so of course I had to check it out. The book and show are quite different in many ways, but I enjoyed both. (Still have a few seasons to go on the show)

Leftcoastzen Love the show! Haven‘t read the book. 3y
BekaReid @Leftcoastzen and apparently Pauline's novel Marriage Vacation was also created and released in sync with when it was in season 4 (complete with page 58) 3y
Arvena Loved TV series! 3y

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I liked this book as a companion to the show. I love the characters and the talent on the show, and this was nice to see where the content originated.

This is such a fun read. I adore the show and am waiting impatiently for the last season. This was a great way to tide me over, but it's also a completely different story. I really like Maggie's storyline in the book and she's a more important character from the beginning. It also reminded me how much I love Alice (Liza in the show) & Josh together. Josh is more mature here and the show does a great job at adding drama, but this was a fun romance.

sudi I was not aware the show was based on a book 😯 5y
Kaylamburson Yes!! Seems a lot of people preferred the show, but I found the book fun in a different way. @sudi 5y
sudi @kaylamburson i'll try to check this out, just to see how it compares with the show. 5y

I love the show Younger, so excited to see how the book it was based on differs! So far the most confusing part is Alice's (Eliza in the show) daughter is named Diana. I'll be curious if there is a boss "Diana" in the book.

Anyone watch this? I‘ve been seeing commercials for it for years and never even considered watching it. I had no real idea what it was even about. This week I started binge watching it and cannot stop!! What a fun look inside the cutthroat world of publishing! I just started the current season, no 5.

Beachesnbooks Yes I love this show!! Especially the bookish aspect 6y
Bookish_B LOVE this show! 6y
Caroline2 Oh I forgot about this! I loved series 1, I must catch up!! 6y

ShananigansReads This show is the best. I can‘t wait til this season is over so I can binge it. 6y
Bostonmomx2 @Beachesnbooks @Bookish_B @Caroline2 @Bookjunkie57 did you guys know they actually published the book from season 4, Marriage Vacation? I just the book in an IG post this am. So crazy. My library doesn‘t have it so I need to decide if I really want to spend the money! 6y
ShananigansReads I had no idea! Now I gotta go look it up. 6y
Bookish_B @Bostonmomx2 Yes! I read it! lol. I didn't love it but I know some people did. I thought it was just ok. 6y
Bostonmomx2 @Bookish_B ya know, I wouldn‘t even really expect it to be more than okay. 6y

1. I don‘t know if she‘s my all time fav, but I love Sutton Foster!
2. Not really, I‘m very much a night owl, so if I get to bed before 2am it‘s a good day.
3. Memoir. Big surprise, I know. ☺️
4. Right now it‘s my very new and sharp chef knife I just got for work.
5. Closest and visited most often is my library, but it is still 20 minutes away.

I‘ve been waiting all week to have time to watch he season 5 premiere of Younger!! So pumped!

Jess_Franzino It‘s a doozy, for sure! I wish that show was an hour long, instead of half an hour. 6y
Kaylamburson A half hour wasn‘t enough! Drama! @Jess_Franzino 6y
Jess_Franzino @Kaylamburson Such a cliffhanger! I CAN‘T wait several more days to see what happens. Do you think she‘ll be fired? 6y

Kaylamburson I know! I should have waited to watch it so I could binge them! I don‘t think she will, simply based on the teaser for the season haha. I‘m not sure what to expect! @Jess_Franzino 6y
Jess_Franzino @Kaylamburson Come to think of it, Charles may very well keep her secret, seeing how they hooked up and that could compromise his job & his family life. Diane would likely fire her, but Liza has just as much dirt on Charles as he has on her. 6y

No clue what took me so long but I FINALLY binge watched Younger (in like 4 days, I'm so obsessed).

1. It's set in publishing - how did I not know that?
2. I'm hardcore crushed out on Josh 😍🔥
3. Why are the episodes so darn short?!
And 4., WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN THAT FINALE?!

If you need me I'll be over here biting my nails in anticipation until June 5th. Shoutout to @Kaylamburson for putting up with my frantic texts when I hit plot twists 😂

My reading slump is still going strong, but in the last two weeks I've watched the first three seasons of Younger. I love this show for many reasons, but the setting in a publishing house filled with inside jokes based on real books is definitely one of them.

ReadingSusan I LOVE this show. It‘s so good. 7y

this show, y'all! I've binged it so hard this weekend. it's funny and romantic, plus the characters work in publishing so there are some great bookish storylines and literary references! I'm obsessed. #litsypartyofone #bookishtv

3.5 stars. I actually much prefer the show to the book. Maybe I would have liked it better if I had read the book first. My main complaint is that 90% of this book is Alice's (Liza) inner monologue. It gets a bit tiresome at times. #audiobook

MatildaBaggins I agree. I definitely enjoyed the show more than the book! 7y

Oh TBR, please forgive me while I maniacally binge all seasons of this show (which is at least tangentially about books...which must count for something!?)! 📚📺❤️

christineandbooks So Younger is available on Hulu? I watched part of the first season but then couldn't find it anywhere. Don't have Hulu subscription...might have to change that... 7y
Christine @Bookish_B @BooksForEmpathy The publishing setting/bookish references/Sutton Foster have me hooked! And yes @christineandbooks, go for the Hulu - at least the free trial to start! 7y

I really don't know what to make of this book. I LOVE the TV show and this book, other than Maggie, are nothing like each other. Which in some ways good because I think had I read this book before watching the show, it would have ruined the show. The book ended up being better at the end but there were a couple of unanswered questions which is super frustrating. Overall, I'd give this book like 3.2 stars.

Was about to start reading, but my friend convinced me to start watching Younger. I'm already addicted to this publishing story. Has anyone read the books? Are they any good?

I am so in love with the show Younger and was so excited when I realized it is based on a book! Unfortunately it just didn't have the same sparkle as the show. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I didn't have the show to compare it to. (Also, TV Josh, tattoo artist > Book Josh, video game developer)

Is anyone watching Younger on TVLand? I am loving this show, even if it does require some suspension of disbelief. A romantic comedy set at publishing house? I'm in!
