Older

De: Pamela Redmond

Narrado por: Sutton Foster

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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."

Great follow up to the tv show

Loved it! knew the characters from tv series. So fun to listen to while doing household chores.

Enjoyed

Well done! Listened on audible & didnt want it to end. Will definitely be finding more for this author.

Life

I loved how we all go through this in our 40s. So much loss and change. Loved the book and the series so much

loved that Sutton Foster narrated

I loved the energy that Sutton brought to this character. It helped me to see it as related to the television series character. I liked that her character was still struggling to find her place on the world. I really didnt like the romantic storyline and how it that particular part ended. It seemed rushed and ingenuime. I hope the show does not follow suit.

A must if you are a fan of -Younger-

Even though I had both “Younger” and “Older” in my library, because I paused my membership I could not listen to younger ☹️. So I started from the end with Older.
If you are a fan of the TV show, you must listen/read this for two reasons:
1) closure: since their filming the last season
2) Liza is now turning 50 and other adventures are coming and it’s narrated by Sutton 🥰.
I can’t really say much about the book because it would involve way to many spoilers. But, the story shines light on how Younger became a TV Show. I don’t know if this is based on Panela’s life but I loved it and was sobbing at the end because I didn’t want it to end.
Great read, I enjoyed it soo much. And, I’m bummed that I didn’t start with Younger because like with all books that turn into TV shows or movies, there are characters missing or non existent, or added.
I can tell you this, Catlyn is still a brat 🤨

Wish to be more connected to first book

I can’t forgive the name changes of the book character. I love both the series and first book but this one is a weird mix of them and some warped third reality. Had higher hopes.

Fun, light and fluffy, but also very powerful

This book (especially this audiobook read by the amazing Sutton Foster) really ties the books and TV show together, making it all seem as if it were in fact real. The story is fluffy and light, but at the same time truly powerful. I loved the characters, very diverse and fully fleshed out, and the empowering message that they all embodied. If someone makes fun of "chick lit" ever again in my presence, I will make them read these books and watch the show.

PS: I just wanted to rave some more about Sutton Foster's great performance. It really made the book come to life for me.

Delightful

I wondered how this sequel would work since there was an entire TV series - with the final season still to air - in between the first book and this release. But Pamela Redmond created an fantastically fun (and completely meta!) experience - and having Sutton Foster read the novel really pulled it all together.

Enjoyable

This is a fun book. I enjoyed hearing Sutton Foster read it. The characters were fun and it was nice to see everything unfold..

I love it

my favorite TV show is younger and this book is the best and I love the voice is Sutton Foster.
