It is quite common to find novels that are taken as a source of inspiration for TV series. In rare occasions, however, this process can be inverted, and a series might also become a book (such is the case of adaptations like CSI, Star Trek or The X Files).
But what happened with the fourth season of Younger is absolutely out of the ordinary. In this case, the novel was adapted into a TV series, and then a novel that was originally inside the story was brought back to paper. This series revolves around a forty-year-old lady who, due to her age, has difficulties to find a job and. For this reason, and with the help of a friend, she manages to hide under the identity of a woman in her twenties and she finds a position in the editorial house Empirical Press. In the fourth season, there is an object that attracts the attention of the audience: an autobiographical novel titled Marriage Vacation, which leaves the workers of Empirical Press shocked and astonished. It is actually due to these strong feelings that the editor decides to publish it. Oddly enough, in the parallel real world, the publishing house Simone e Schuster has also decided to publish said book on the 8th of June, close to the release date of the fifth season of Younger.
This re-adaptation is not only an optimal marketing operation, but it is also interesting to see the transformation of stories that take place between the written word and the screens, to the point in which parts of the narrative become real facts, making it difficult to clearly define the boundaries between reality and fiction.
