Maegan Dixon asked Penelope Douglas:

Hey Penelope! Where did you come up with the idea for Birthday girl? Its my favourite book. I love it so much, I've read it maybe 20 times or more and I still get chills.

Penelope Douglas Yay!! So glad, Maegan. Definitely glad I took that detour in my schedule.

The idea just came from my imagination, honestly. I was daydreaming about something taboo, and once I had the idea for boyfriend's dad, the rest of the story just fell into place. It was so easy to put this book together, and I haven't had such an easy or enjoyable time writing a book in a long time. I build Pinterest boards for all my stories (hopefully you've seen it) and playlists, and it helps inspire scenes and conversations.

Thanks for reading!! Glad you liked it!
