Favorite Tropes: May-December Romance
Amy Leibowitz
It’s September, and for people of all ages that means back to school time. School years can be a source of great memories—passing notes with friends, complaining about the cafeteria food, playing in the band or on the soccer team, and crushing on the hot new teacher.
