About this listen

A stunning coming-of-age novel about one young man's eye-opening sexual awakening at the hands of an intriguing older woman.

Henry Cane knows exactly what he’s going to do with the rest of his life.

That’s the problem.

Born into the rarefied world of Manhattan wealth and privilege, after graduating from Princeton, Henry is about to start his perfectly planned out life. He's always known he will move back to Manhattan and be groomed to take over his father’s publishing business. He's destined to date a string of appropriate girls until he dates the most appropriate girl and asks her to marry him.

It’s all so awfully tedious.

But Henry's been given eight weeks to do something else, to be an entirely different person. When his parents leave him alone in their Sag Harbor estate for the summer, Henry embarks on a double life as Joe, a blue collar fisherman on the other side of the bay. Once ensconced in his fake identity, he finds himself entangled in an affair with an alluring, older European woman - who happens to be married. As he becomes more and more infatuated with her, their affair threatens to unravel his tightly wound story, and could jeopardize his entire future.

This is the story of a boy becoming a man, shaped by the hands of women who truly control the narrative.

Great addition and stand alone

I’m a huge fan of the TV show younger— I’m watching the 7th season every chance there is a new episode.
This book can stand alone with the characters on its own— but in my opinion it is a wonderful addition to the show. It does not expand on the show but in the show there are a few episodes where the main character Charles has a book he has worked on over the years but hesitant to publish because it’s a true story about his life when he was younger (the character). Because of knowing this— it has added to some recent revelations in the show for me— adding meat and background (supplementing) the character in the Younger TV series. I love these awesome books made into real live from the show (i.e. Marriage Vacation) . To me it’s a great way to expand on the show’s fictional characters.
—To readers that aren’t familiar with the TV show Younger, you can listen to the book by itself and it’s still a good story. Summer love, but not a primary love story.
