Our Review

This sharp, candid guide tackles the universal but rarely discussed art of age-fudging with wit and practical wisdom. Sona Holman moves beyond simple vanity to explore the social pressures, professional dilemmas, and personal anxieties that make this white lie so pervasive. She offers a toolkit of clever deflection tactics, strategic phrasing, and digital footprint management that feels both modern and genuinely useful.

What sets this book apart is its refreshing honesty; it’s less about denying the passage of time and more about navigating a world obsessed with youth with grace and a bit of strategic humor. Readers navigating career shifts, dating apps, or any social sphere where a number can define you will find these insights empowering. Ultimately, it’s a clever manifesto on taking control of your own narrative, one well-placed omission at a time.
