Review: too old to care

Not very realistic. It's hard to take serious a 65 year-old women who's jet setting around the world to meet her lover with no cares for who she hurts. By 65, most are set in their ways, and most have made their path in life.  It's not to say you are no longer a sexual person, but I just don't  know many thong-wearing 65 year olds. It's as if the author wrote it for a younger group, but forgot her characters were card-carrying AARP members. By this age we also understand the need for protection. Not because of pregnancy, but STDs. The author disregards this and it's irresponsible at the least.  Mel's husband seems a fool not to realize what's happening, and Mark is a selfish egotistical guy. Has he changed that much from high school? I don't think so. The need for their sexual connection stems from their loneliness and unhappiness in their marriages of 20 plus years. It's totally not believable, it's bogus chemistry, there's no real character development and the continuity is  horrible.I originally got this book since my 30th high school reunion is coming up, but was sadly disappointed with this book. It would've been more believable of forty year-olds. It over promised and undelivered.
