Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas

GAH how I love the angst! I knew just by the description of this book alone that I was going to love it. I mean come on, what gets more taboo than falling for your boyfriend's DAD?! *sighs* It was trouble waiting to happen, and I loved watching all the tension unfurl. By the time our main characters finally gave in, I was SQUIRMING I was so anxious for it to happen. And of course, it couldn't all happen at once, right? ;) I loved the juxtaposition of the characters -- one who was older, wiser, who had lost so much of their innocence and never had a chance to live their younger years, and then the other who was young, fresh, full of life, yet wanted what the older character had. It was so interesting seeing how they worked together, how it just made sense for them to be together even though their ages were so different. That's what I love about love! Anyway, this was such a great read and a definite must if you love angst. I recommend!
