Review ~ The Birthday List by Devney Perry

The Birthday List by Devney Perry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Poppy and Cole’s story was heartbreaking but sweet. This type of read is one that will sit with you for a long time. Poppy’s intentions with the birthday list was to get closure and it was good to see her tackle everything. She grew so much as a person and allowed herself to open up more and slowly let Cole in. I liked how patient Cole was with poppy, letting her go at her own pace and helped her with the list.

Cole, being a detective, was able to work on the case that brought them together. I liked how passionate he was and how he would do anything for poppy at the drop of a hat. I liked the support system that they both had. Both their families supported them with everything that they did. I enjoyed watching them grow together. It really was a sweet read, and I intend to read more from this author.
