Dankzij de wonderen van haarverf en een hippe skinnyjeans kan Alice ineens door voor een hippe twintiger, zoals een flirt in een bar in Manhattan bevestigt. Als de klok twaalf uur slaat, begint Alice aan het nieuwe jaar in de armen van een jongeman die nog in de luiers lag toen zij op de middelbare school haar eerste voorzichtige kus kreeg... Het leugentje over haar leeftijd zet Alice aan het denken. Onverwacht krijgt ze een tweede kans in haar leven: ze hóéft immers niet haar echte leeftijd te vertellen. Dus neemt ze haar droombaan aan, verhuist naar de hippe loft van Maggie en geniet van het leven, met Josh – de nieuwjaars-flirt – als heerlijke bonus. Josh valt hals-over-kop voor Alice. Hij denkt dat ze ongeveer negenentwintig is, en voor het eerst sinds Alice daadwerkelijk negenentwintig was, heeft ze het gevoel dat de wereld aan haar voeten ligt en de kansen voor het oprapen liggen. Of toch niet? Younger is een hilarische en vermakelijke roman die bewijst dat je zo jong bent als je jezelf voelt.
