Review: Cute,  but the "older man"  reads closer to 60 than 45.

I mentioned in a review of the previous book in this series that the author doesn't seem "in tune"  with Generation X and today's 40 somethings.There is a lot of talk about musical taste and how different it is for the two from different generations.  Then in this book,  the younger gets gifted Ramones and Sex Pistols items.  This apparently is "younger"  music?  The Ramones had top 40 hits in the 80s, and the Sex Pistols were active in the 70s!  They are pure both Gen X.  I think the author has us confused with the Baby Boomers.These are cute romances,  but for a 47 year old reader it felt like the author was really overblowing the generational differences.  I am not sure why,  I didn't think it added to the plot at all.  Also,  the author doesn't even touch on many of the main difficulties in relationships with very wide age differences,  or especially relationships involving people barely out of adolescence (the younger man is supposed to be 22 at the beginning,  which is barely adult in many ways).  I didn't find the relationship at all distasteful,  just kind of bland considering the challenges.
