Part 1

I’ve never read Fifty Shades of Grey but from what I’ve heard about it I think this book is pretty similar in that weird and sexually kinky way.  They say that age is but a number, but I feel that line to come true only once you’re in your thirties, and not by going for a teenage boy. It was somewhat of rape actually because the first time they did it, he didn’t know what he was getting himself into, he was just a young boy who was starting to experience hormones. It was a bit creepy to picture these things happening because she was so much older than him, so when they went out in public and took that trip, and even checked into hotels as mother and son, it was just kind of nasty. Then again, there is that young boy mentality in which getting lucky with an older woman is a lifelong sexual fantasy. So in a way Micheal can be more of an envy than a discomfort and he can be someone boys look up to for making love to an older and more experienced woman because the mere fact that she chose him over anyone her own age makes him mysterious and people would wonder what it is about him that makes him so desirable to someone older than him.

I honestly thought he would cheat on Hanna with Sophie too. He seemed to be showing a sense of remorse for just hanging out with an older woman and not really having time to hang out with friends his own age. He also seemed to be somewhat ashamed of being with Hanna because she could be his mother, and I think Hanna understood that in the end and that is why she disappeared.
