Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas
3.0
This book was so cute but also irritating in both good and bad ways The MMC cared more about what other people thought then the young FMC ever did. The age gap in my opinion was not a huge on as the FMC was 19 and the MMC was 38, the fact that the FMC was dating the MMC’s son was a huge sticking point for most of the book and I get the reasons why behind it. With the FMC I feel like she had an old soul and really wanted the life the MMC could give her, but he was scared as he did not want to mess up the relationship he had with his son, as he had him very young but the mother turn him against his father. So his fears for most of the book was justified.
The sister of the FMC really bugged me, as she would tease her sister but not in a kind way. I am not sure if she wanted her to come out of her shell or that she wanted her sister to be like her. I know that she made good money as a stripper and she was worried that her sister was not making enough money for herself but she could have been a supporting sister instead of a bitch.
There are times when I was reading this book that I had to put myself back in my 19 year old self, and remember I was stupid at that time when it comes to love as well. I know now that how the FMC treated Cole the son of the MMC, was more like a mother and not like a girlfriend. They should have ended their relationship long before the book even started but they stayed together due to them being scared to be alone and that they were familiar with each other. Cole did redeem himself in my eyes when he decided he was going to make a change in his life for the better and he took the steps to do it on his own without anyone pushing him.
I loved this book and I love the writing style of Penelope Douglas and I have already recommended this book to others and also will be recommending this to my book club.
