erinx26 's review for:

Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas

2.5

emotional slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

plot is predictable. Very usual romance plot of girl meets boy, they falls in love even though they shouldnt, very forbidden love, boy fucks up, has fo get the girl. 

Even with that aside, it took way too long to get to the smut. 

The age difference was also difficult for me to get over. It also felt very forced.
