The Younger Man – Zoe Foster
Written
by the inestimable Miss Foster, former editor of Cleo, this is intelligent
chick lit at its best. The tale begins with our mature heroine Abby kicking
lovely young Marcus out of her bed (and life). But Marcus has other plans for
Abby, and he’s not about to let her get away. Add to this a major overhaul for
her small business, Allure, and the dramas of her two best friends, and Abby
has her plate well and truly full. Will Marcus win Abs over? Or will she let
her prejudices about age stop her from falling for the first man she ever felt
she could trust?
I
really enjoyed the tone set by Foster, and adored the fact that ‘The Younger
Man’ was set in Sydney – it’s so refreshing to read about women in our real
world. The conversational tone of the novel was witty and endearing in the way
Foster has cemented her rise to love guru and all around good gal on. My only
trouble was, can such a man as Marcus really exist? At any age, let alone at
22? Miss Foster, I’m putting the call out – have you really met a man like him?
…and if he’s single…can I have his number??
