This was a fun, breezy summer read. I loved young Charles/Henry/Joe! There’s something about a commercial literary summer on the East End of Long Island that checks off a lot of boxes for me. This was exactly what it should be.

Will we get Sam’s book next? Probably not.

Do you watch Younger?

I am OBSESSED with the show. I recently rewatched it all before the current season started and it made me want to read all of the Younger related books! I love that some fictional books from the show were made into real books!

I started with The Miseducation of Henry Cane because it was discussed in the most recent episode. This one is the book Charles wrote that Liza and Kelsey are obsessed with but he doesn’t want to publish...

This was a quick light read. I didn’t love the older woman, younger man story line and the steamy scenes made me uncomfortable, but I did love the story line of Henry growing up finding himself. If you are a Younger fan this one is worth the read! I’m not sure it would be as special without the background of the show though.

Perfunctory TV tie-in, inessential and uninspired.

You know when you fall asleep but don’t remember that you fell asleep? That’s what it felt like reading this book. I woke up in the middle of it and thought when the heck did I start reading this. I still don’t know what this book is about ?????

A coming of age story. Not much more to say than that.... If you want a “quick beach read,” this is just the thing.
