To add to what Helen says, that point about "16-20-year-old girls chasing after 39-48-year-old men" is something that would make me search out a book, not stay away from it!
It's something I don't see a lot in books - modern books, anyway - but as someone who, back when I was 17, fell head over heels in love with a 50+ year old neither-rich-nor-famous man, it's something I find extremely realistic. It's all these books where teen girls fall in love with teen boys that I find hard to relate to, instead...
