    Amazing!
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2022*

It took a while for me to get into the book, but I enjoyed. It gave more context to the tv series, Younger and made me like the series more.

    Great Tie-In to the TV Series Younger
  

*by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018*

If you love the TV Land series 
  
Younger







  
  
    , this book is a MUST READ.  It's a great tie-in to the characters and storyline.  If you're not familiar, Younger is about a 40-something year old woman named Liza who pretends to be 20-something in order to get a job at a publishing house after her divorce.  Based on a 
  
novel







  
  
    , the series was developed for television by Darren Star, also famous for 
  
Sex and the City







  
  
     and 
  
Melrose Place







  
  
    .  Liza succeeds (for the most part), but has to play the part of a millennial in all aspects of her life, which proves to be difficult at times.  By seasons 4 and 5, the company she works for ends up buying and publishing the book "Marriage Vacation."  As it turns out, the "author" Pauline is the wife of the head of the company.  The story is based on her real life, when she took a "vacation" from her marriage by running off to Thailand to "make a difference," to rediscover herself, and to write again.  She does this with no planning, no notice, and barely an explanation, leaving behind her husband and two daughters.When I first started reading "Marriage Vacation," I took Pauline's side.  I could see her point of view.  She's lost herself.  She got married, became a wife to a successful business man, became a mom to two kids...and just lost every part of herself as an individual.  I could definitely feel for her and sympathize with those feelings.  I think we've all felt lost at one point and wanted to get away from everything.On the other hand, there comes a point where you make your own choices and have to be responsible for the choices you've made.  She chose to get married.  She chose to have children.  You can't just walk away from your responsibilities, not expect there to be consequences, and have everyone just waiting for you to return to your normal life after you've gone and had your fun.The novel was an easy, interesting read, though, and really gave me some more insight into the character of Pauline on the TV series.  It also works well as a stand alone chick-lit story, even if you no nothing about the TV series.  I also enjoyed some of the extras details in the book.  There's an author bio and acknowledgements of the fictional character of Pauline.  The book also says on the spine and inside that it's a "Millennial Imprint," which is from the TV series.

    Good quick read.
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018*

I liked it. As my headline states, its a good quick read. We really get to know Charles'/Carl's backstory, what he was like when he was younger, pun intended, as well as what he became after the death of his father.  I guess my only complaint was the explanation of why Pauline/Kate left and didn't come back for 18 months. Without giving anything away, she always has Mother Teresa like reasons for not coming home, over and over again. They pull out all the stops to make the reader understand her side and why she stayed away.  It reminded me of the movie "Guess Whose Coming to Dinner". Poitier's character was so perfect that he felt a little contrived, as if the black man had to be flawless to be acceptable enough that Hepburn and Tracy could not find any possible reason to reject him.  Remade, I would like to hope that movie would be made a bit different today.Anyhoo, I digress. If I was being honest, I guess my biggest problem with the book is that there would be nothing that would have kept me away from my son when he was her girls age. Plain and simple she abandoned them and there is nothing that, in my opinion can sway me to being okay with that.  I do not care how unhappy she was. Her character has a voice and a brain. If Charles was ignoring her emotional needs, she could have spoken up or left him, left him in a place where she had access to her children.  I just can't get past that.
