2025 Reading Challenge: A book about a main character's birthday

This one is so hyped on booktok, but I knew the age gap trope was just not for me.  Plus, I really hated Punk 57 and figured this author was just not my style. If I hadn't picked it up for free on kindle, I would have never read it. All that to say, it was fine.  It was more love story than smut, and both the FMC and the MMC actually had growth.  But the age gap still creeps me out.  A 38 year old man has to be pretty stunted to have anything in common with a 19 year old girl.
