TWO STRANGERS, ONE BUCKET LIST, AND A BIRTHDAY TO REMEMBER. When Ellis Smalley realizes everyone will be out of town for her birthday, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Hiring a stranger from the internet to plan her birthday sounds crazy, but when Ellis meets Griffin Peterson, and soon finds herself crashing a wedding, she can't help but think that he's planned the best birthday of her life. Griffin Peterson didn't expect to like the strange girl from the internet, but after a long night of wedding crashing and songwriting with her, he decides he doesn't want the adventure to end. Maybe they don't have to stay strangers after all. A Bucket List Birthday is a dual-POV, fast-paced, and witty romantic comedy featuring one meet-cute, a cinnamon roll love interest with thigh tattoos, and a girl who can't stand orange jumpsuits from the thrift store.
