IMO age gap books are hard to do. Often the characters and/or the relationship is super unbelievable and I just end up hating the book and myself for reading it. But Don't Kiss the Bride was perfection!  Not only did I believe the characters, their love, their struggles and their ages, but also it took me back to when I was 19 and in a relationship with a much older man. I understood Sparkle and I understood Lucky. 

Quadruple bonus points for the way the author dealt with eating disorders and mental health issues.
