Review: Birthday Girl - Penelope Douglas
Review: Birthday Girl - Penelope Douglas - April 2018
Penelope Douglas is one of
those authors; I find you get excited
when her newest release is finally published
and when you get your hands on it - you find yourself wanting to read it
straight away. For me, I have to admit I was a little disappointed with Birthday
Girl and the reasoning behind that was I loved Punk 57 and found that to be one
of the best books I had read for a while. So,
still reeling with how awesome Punk 57 was,
I went into Birthday Girl with the same expectations but felt letdown. Birthday Girl is Jordan, it is her birthday and her boyfriend
Cole is running late, so she goes to the
movies. She finds herself sitting next to a handsome stranger who shares her love of movies and makes her
laugh - his name is Pike. One thing leads to another, and we discover that her boyfriend Cole and Pike share the same DNA
as father and son. Automatically, you can see what the book is about and the
road it will take. I have to admit for me; I
wanted Jordan to be with Pike as it
seemed like the best choice and then it got me thinking about myself and
whether it is an age thing as I am now at the stage where the older man seems
to appeal to me rather than the same age guy. One
thing I did hate about this book was that I am not one when it comes to playing
games and this book does have a lot of that emotional manipulation and back and
forth, it's like - MAN UP and confess your feelings and if you both love each
other then F the world and move on and be happy. Don't pussyfoot around
one another and make each other miserable because you feel you have to please
one another's family and the rest of the world. As you can see, this book for me was an average read and
yes, if you want an Older Man/ Younger
woman romance, then this can be the read
for you. If you want anything else, then don't hold your breath.
