Review: Good story, but please retitle it and needs more character development

Two main problems with this story: the title, which is somewhat misleading and stigmatizing.  Second, the man's perspective needed to be written.  It is too easy to believe that the only reason a 40 something old man is interested in this girl is because she's young and hot.  You never learn why he is interested in this 18 year old girl.  I like May-December romances because I think older men (compared to the woman's age), make better husbands and lovers.  But this story lacked his perspective, his thoughts.  If you want to read an excellent May-December romance, read The Surprise of His Life.  Although it's over 20 years old, the story is written well and both characters are well developed and nuanced.
