In the sequel to the beloved Younger—now a hit Netflix series from the creator of Sex and the City starring Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff—Liza Miller is torn between two cities and two hearts when her bestselling novel is picked up by a major television network.
New York or Los Angeles? Romance or commitment? Younger...or older?

Liza Miller never dreamed that anyone would be interested in her life, let alone buy a book about it. But everything changes when, on the eve of her fiftieth birthday, she publishes a thinly veiled novel about a woman posing as a millennial called Younger—which her old friend Kelsey wants to turn into a TV show.

Liza is off to Los Angeles to help Kelsey write the pilot. But that means leaving behind her on-again off-again boyfriend Josh, her pregnant daughter, and her best friend Maggie. Can Liza find happiness in her new adventure if it means leaving everyone she loves?

Yet as Liza is swept up in the heady world of Hollywood, she finds herself thinking less and less of her life back home in New York. And when she meets Hugo Fielding—the devastatingly handsome and incredibly flirtatious Brit playing her boss on the show—she toes the line between having a crush and falling in love.

Torn between New York and Los Angeles, a familiar love and a risky one, an established career and a shot at stardom, Liza must decide if it's too late to go to the ball...and if she even wants to. From the author of the beloved Younger, this is an endearing, hilarious, and relatable tale of second chances and new beginnings that proves: the best thing about getting Older is that you finally get to be yourself.

      Redmond’s lackluster sequel to Younger picks up with writer Liza Miller at 49 after she’s scored a hit with a novel, also titled Younger, about a 40-something posing as a 20-something thanks to some hair dye and tight jeans. The book is now being adapted for TV (just as Redmond’s Younger was), and Liza butts heads with Stella Power, the difficult young star slated to play the lead, after Stella proposes ridiculous rewrites in order to get her ex-boyfriend Hugo Fielding cast in the show. Hugo is cast, and he and Liza hit it off, though Liza’s wary that Hugo might be a player. Josh, Liza’s younger ex-boyfriend, pops up now and again, his presence reminding her of her intense attraction to him, though Liza is convinced their relationship can’t be rekindled because he’s interested in having children and she isn’t. Redmond touches on a couple of unique problems, such as how to deal with one’s life being cannibalized for television, but she doesn’t explore them in a meaningful way and instead focuses on manufactured drama many people would wish they could have, such as the attention of two highly attractive men. Fans of Younger—the book or the show—may like seeing familiar characters again, but others can take a pass

      Viewers have seen Sutton Foster play Liza Miller in the television show "Younger," and now they can experience her congenial audiobook performance in this highly anticipated sequel. As Liza turns 50, her recent novel is under contract for a television show. She leaves her troublesome on-again, off-again boyfriend in New York City and meets charming actor Hugo Fielding in Los Angeles. Foster's authentic delivery and robust range of emotion give Liza and supporting characters so much personality. As the story raises questions about who is the right paramour and what is the right career path for Liza, the answers are obvious, but Foster makes Liza's perspective genuine and elicits sympathy for her struggles. Fans of the "Younger" television program and book won't be disappointed by this excellent sequel. G.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
