It should be pointed out that the boy was over 18 when they first have sex (though of course being a teenaged boy he is attracted to her immediately). There are plenty of books out there with 30something heroes and barely-adult heroines that no one hears or complains about.
When publishers acquire these virally popular self-pubbed titles, I wonder who they think the audience will be? Haven't a lot of people already bought the book? I, for one, don't plan to rebuy, though I found the book quite cracktastic and enjoyed my read. I can see acquiring her future books. But I suppose it worked for the 50 Shades books.
As far as editing--the writing is no worse than a lot of commercially published books, though the Magic Suitcase washing up from the plane crash with a huge supply of shampoo, soap, etc. was kind of hilarious.
