I was worried that I was missing out on something by not reading Younger first, but I didn't have to worry since this book essentially told the entire story of that book. So just in case you were wondering if you should read Younger first, don't! Jump right in. But I must say that out of pure curiosity and liking this author's style, I am going to be reading that book next!
Because of what I had read about this book, I had thought that I was going to get an insightful look into someone close to me in age, their friends, and their relationships. What I got was more or less a cast of unlikeable character's going through teenage problems, attitudes, and issues with a few adult problems thrown in.
I can't say this was a bad book; I actually enjoyed it and found it slightly amusing. Perhaps it would be more entertaining to someone younger, who hasn't reached their fifties yet.

SYNOPSIS:In the hotly anticipated sequel to the beloved Younger—now a hit TV 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.
