I enjoyed this twist on the May-December romance with a look at these relationships down the line. Now in their sixties, the older men in this book at looking back at their lives and relationships and thinking about where they are.

I enjoyed the secondary characters very much and how they interacted and influenced the lives of these couples. Not what I expected, and sweet.
