Older, but not wiser

Gosh I wanted to like this book....I really like older woman, younger man romances but things one was seriously irritating. The main character, Jillian, hooks up with a younger guy and then spends the entire book being a neurotic old lady about it. She is so annoying and self destructive, that I even wonder why the younger guy is pursuing her. Also she is a complete doormat to her ex-husband who is clearly using her as a safety net and she puts up with it, even when he deliberately sabotages her relationship. What saves the book a tiny bit is the side characters. Her sister-in-law is supposed to be her cheerleader pushing her to take a chance, but she is so over the top she becomes super annoying halfway through the book. The younger guy, Chase is the highlight, but we don't get enough romance scenes with him. Also he's got his life so together you can't picture him with Jillian. Not because she's older, but because she's a hot mess. This book really missed the mark.
