Resumen del Editor

From Pamela Redmond Satran, the acclaimed author of Babes in Captivity and The Man I Should Have Married, comes a story of inspiration and transformation for the really desperate housewife. She's 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 husband's 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 Year's 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. She's having too much fun to care. The white lie Alice tells Josh gets her thinking that if no one asks her age, she doesn't have to tell. So she applies for a job she had briefly before becoming a full-time mom - and gets it. Meanwhile, Josh is falling head over heels for Alice, who's just way cooler than girls his age. He figures she's about 29 - and for the first time since she was 29, or possibly ever, Alice feels that life is ripe with possibility. Unfortunately one possibility is that she's gonna get caught. Challenging the adage that the truth will set you free, Younger is a hilarious and insightful story that proves that you're only as young as you feel.

Great

I am about to be 30 so maybe I am a little bit too young to FULLY enjoy all of the themes in this book but I am definitely realizing that youth is fleeting and I love the characters in this book. I love how she realizes things she wants for herself and grows in the book in ways that I am realizing I am currently growing myself. I started watching the show and the main character reminds me of myself and my best friend combined. I'm not sure which came first but the casting for the show AND the audiobook is spot on. One of the few books I read where it and the show did equal justice to the stories, even if there are some variations. Looking forward to seeing what else this author has out.

Wonderful story

This was a wonderful story that would appeal to a vast majority of women of any age. Very relatable! I highly recommend it.

Great idea

Cute and encouraging idea for a book. Not in one of my top 10 books for the year but decent enough.

The series is better

Glad it was short when it didn't match the series closely as all. the book really left a lot to be desired.

Not as good as the TV show

I bought this as a daily deal because I really enjoyed the television show. While the story was pretty good, it's missing all of the funniness and wittiness of the show.

This had some good moments...

An interesting concept that worked at certain points but had some points of irritation with our heroine's choices. I liked that she was willinging to break out of her life and try something new. Let us gloss over the she can look 29 with ease. I liked most of the characters! especially best friend. Boyfriend Josh was unrealistically understanding but hey this is all fantasty. In the end I would classify the story as having potetial that was not fully realized.

Fresh!

I really enjoyed reading this book. I usually struggle to finish books (or just don't finish). Younger made me look forward to those moments I could read it.

Fun and easy!

Finiahed in 3 days! Fun and easy reading.
Strong women non typical story.
Very recomended.

I loved this book!

It was funny, warm and I really didn't want it to end. I loved It!

Easy listening but elementary storyline.

It was very simplistic and mildly entertaining. If you need to distract yourself from the depressing news of the world it works but for any involvement in the story: no.
