This book was well written, and correctly edited.The content was nothing special. It did not pull me in, but neither did it bore me. It was a mild read, with little drama. There was little angst, just one little tempest in a teapot.Lydia falls in love with a younger man, a year after her 20 year old marriage ended in divorce.Tristan appears to be 10-15 years her junior.Lydia's friends are supportive of her relationship, her mom is against it.This story has a lot of good elements and ideas in it, but they really could have been fleshed out a bit more.It reminds me a lot of a Grimms fairy tale.Bottom line, its not one I will keep or read again, nor would I pass it along to others.If you want lots of sex, it has it.  So much that in order to read the story, I had to skip most of it. Which made the book a very fast read.Crass use of the "F" word is what likely made this story, at least for me, seem less emotional. There are so many synonyms for sex that exist. Some convey emotion, "f~(k" just doesnt. So romance this story isnt.
