Older
by Pamela Redmond
In the sequel to Pamela Redmond’s novel Younger, Older has Liza Miller at a crossroads in her life as she nears turning fifty. After writing her novel Younger, based on her own experience, Liza is planning on moving back to New York near her daughter Caitlin, who is expecting a baby. Liza’s old co-worker Kelsey has since moved to Los Angeles to work in television, and she is interested in turning Liza’s novel into a TV show. Liza finds herself torn between New York and Los Angeles, and what the next chapter of her life should be. After meeting debonair actor Hugh Fielding in Los Angeles, Liza also feels torn between this new man, and her old love with Josh. Liza is faced with decisions to make to determine where her life will lead.
As a huge fan of the television show Younger, I was excited to read this book as it would blend the novel with the creation of a television show, just as they did for TV Land. I was happily reunited with some of the characters I had grown to love from the show, and I think their depiction on the show helped to allow me connect with them more in the text. The one character I failed to connect with was Liza’s adult daughter, Caitlin. I found her to be incredibly selfish and annoying, as she behaved like a spoiled child. The novel is a quick read, and if you watched and enjoyed the television show Younger it is worth reading Older.
Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for an advance copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
