Today I want to talk about a book I was always interested in, but for some reason it was never the right time to give it a shot.
I guess the right time came and guys, the book was sooooooooo good.
Birthday Girl was first published on April 15th 2018 and it has 349 pages.
About the book:
FROM GOODREADS /
He took me in when I had nowhere else to go. He doesn’t use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work.
I have to stop this. It can’t happen.
Review:
I had a feeling I would like this book, and I was right.
In a matter of fact, this was even better than I expected it to be.
With all the drama surrounding this taboo main theme of the book, with all the characters and their connection it could be compared to Turkish drama (those are pretty popular in my country).
The small town setting gave even more quality. Every character had a sole and purpose. Everyone contributed to the story.
They all were developed pretty well, especially our main character Jordan.
It makes so much sense why she fell for older guy, as she grew up in a household which was anything but healthy.
With her drunk father and mother who left her, she didn’t have a chance to learn what a healthy family looks like, and there came mummy and daddy issues.
It also make sense why she chose violent guys before or why she hang on to a thing that didn’t have a future, as she didn’t have anything else to hang on to.
We could discuss the morality of the story and how Pike wasn’t a good father, even though he and the author herself claimed otherwise.
There is no way in the world his choice wouldn’t leave a mark on his son.
Anyway, the story, with all it’s complexity was well done and wrapped up the best way possible.
