I was cracking up reading this book.  How old is this author?  The "older man"  is supposed to be 44 and says things like "it was a different time then..."  Regarding getting married right out of school.  He thinks Linkin Park is kid music.  What?I am 47 and graduated from college in the early 90s.  People weren't expected to get married.  Women especially were waiting,  wanting to establish their careers.  People who got married before 25 were considered rash.  It is true that LGBT rights have come a long way in the last 20 years,  but attitudes about marriage just aren't that different.Also,  Linkin Park is popular with Gen X.  We loved new wave and punk in the 80s, and Linkin Park has a firm spot on the "adult alternative"  top bands list.  My teens think they are boring.  Another time,  Muse is mentioned.  Another "adult alternative"  favorite.  We were listening to The Clash when we were young,  those bands are hardly going to offend our ears.Overall these are cute romances.  There isn't much plot beyond the romance,  and the romance wasn't that special to me.  The downside of the tendency of people to give everything 5 stars is that it is hard to find the really amazing stuff.  I didn't find this amazing,  but it is cute.  Also short.  The characters are a bit generic and there isn't a lot of emotional depth,  but it is well written and a smooth,  easy read.
