Last season, the character wrote a novel calledMarriage Vacation, with Liza as her trusted editor.
We just took it from there.

Its so smart, so witty.
I had to rewatch the entire show as research for the book.
What was the writing process like?
Simon & Schuster ; Tv Land
How doesMarriage Vacationexpand the world ofYounger?I think it makes the world ofYoungerbigger, in a way.
I think every fan has been waiting for this; I know Ive been waiting for this.
Every book that theyve come out with on the show, Ive wished was a book in real life.
Its just another way that fans can enjoy the show, which is so incredibly cool.
Frankly, I would like to see all ofYoungers fictional books become real books.
Page 58 was was really built up on the show.
How did you go about writing that scene?Oh my God, it was so hard.
It was so hard.
Im not a raunchy sex person.
Im not a great writer of dirty sex scenes.
This is by far the dirtiest thing I have ever written, or ever thought about.
Pauline made the choice to leave her family to find herself.
How did you work to make her sympathetic throughout the book?It was hard.
I have to say that.
you could read and enjoy the book great beach read.
But Pauline was complicated.
Im gonna go party in Bali for the next year, then come back.
This is the catch-22.
We had to make her sympathetic, but we didnt want to make Charles unlikeable.
Its a big deal.
Hands down, the best thing about the book is that we get to know more about Charles.
I think most fans desperately want to know whats beneath that very well-tailored three-button suit.
Are you Team Charles or Team Josh?Team Charles all the way.
