Gabrielle Union’s latest film is based on Tia Williams’ critically praised 2016 novel, which goes by the same title. The novel encourages viewers to explore the intricate world of a forty-year-old lady who finds herself involved in a covert romance with the much younger son of her boss. The movie explores the age-old issue of whether a woman can genuinely have it all or whether she must make compromises along the way as her life progresses.
This is how the story goes: Jenna, played by Union, is forced to move to New York City in an effort to revive her career after being fired from her highly esteemed job. She is also going through a turbulent breakup with her long-term boyfriend. She accepts a job with her rival Darcy, played by Gina Torres. However, she unpredictably falls in love with her charming younger coworker Eric, played by Keith Powers. Eric is Darcy’s son, which makes matters more complicated. Now, Jenna must choose whether to ignore their age and generational differences and pursue a covert romance with Eric in order to see if a future together is feasible. Interesting, right?
