I found the author's writing to be stilted and weak. Lusting after an 18 yr. old was sick (would people have seen it differently if the male/female role was reversed?)and thinking that she was in love was ridiculous. Even Mrs. Robinson waited until her friends' kid got out of college. As far as the references to God and prayer, Billy Letts was more believable in "Where the Heart Is" at least her prayers were tongue in cheek. Please.. you don't chase after your friend's kid (have you seen 18 yr. olds lately) just under your kind husband's nose and then ask God to put his stamp of approval or forgiveness on it.
