Birthday Girl
📚 Why We Recommend ItIt opens in a dark movie theater on her nineteenth birthday—and the spark you feel is the point. Birthday Girl is a taboo, age-gap slow burn that pairs Jordan with the last man she should want: Pike Lawson, her boyfriend’s father. When life collapses and she moves into Pike’s house, the proximity turns everyday moments—late-night kitchens, small kindnesses, simmering restraint—into a romance that’s equal parts forbidden and tender. It’s a standalone contemporary from Penelope Douglas, newly issued by Berkley after its viral BookTok run, with the angst, dual-POV ache, and earned HEA fans devour. Read it for: age-gap tension, forced proximity, and a protective, blue-collar hero who falls hard and careful.
