Younger: 19 Things You Should Know About the Book and TV Show

9. Patricia Field, who created the iconic style of Sex and the City, consults on Liza's age-defying wardrobe in Younger.

10. I'm a huge fan of TVLand's Hot in Cleveland, so I was very excited that Younger would be on the same network.

__11. In the novel, the heroine's daughter is named Diana, after Princess Diana, but in the show that name is given to Liza's boss, while her daughter is named Caitlin...__the name of the heroine of my most recent novel, The Possibility of You.

12. Like Alice/Liza and her best friend, Maggie, I'm still friends with my oldest friend Nancy—and like them, we're complete opposites but still connect like we did when we were five. (Childhood friends are like that.)

13. Age has always been an important theme for me. Besides Younger, I'm the author of Glamour's infamous list turned book, 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30, as well as the New York Times best-selling humor book How Not to Act Old.

14. I could never pass for 15 years younger than my age, but I have friends who can—and have!

15. In the book, Josh is a video-game designer, while on the show he's a tattoo artist. But Nico Tortorella: Wow. Hot whatever he does, at any age.

16. The show was filmed on a specially built stage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where it's set, and on location around New York City. And, yeah, I got to watch the filming, and it was a thrill.

17. The head of the publishing company where the heroine works in the novel is named Mrs. Whitney, for Glamour's longtime editor-in-chief Ruth Whitney, an important influence on all the young women who worked under her—including Glamour's current editor-in-chief, Cindi Leive.

18. A classic Ruth Whitney line—Don't bring me problems, bring me solutions!—underpins Alice's professional education in the book, as it has in my own career.

19. The novel Younger is being reissued ahead of the show's March 31 premiere, with a fresh cover featuring stars Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, and Debi Mazar, and foreign editions coming out in over a dozen countries, including France, Italy, and Spain. Huzzah!

Pamela Redmond Satran is the author of the novel Younger, the basis of the television series debuting March 31 on TVLand created by Darren Star.
