All Wrapped Up

Planning a toddler's birthday should be simple…until Anna realizes it's anything but.

Who doesn't love a birthday party? Especially a toddler's. There's sugar, balloons, games—all the makings for fun; that is unless it's the first toddler birthday party you've ever planned in your life. It can't be that hard, Anna Foster decides; and when she's decided something, that's it. The ones she attended as a guest were a blast, and surely there's nothing that over organisation, a checklist or three, and a Type A personality can't fix, right? Though the smirk her mother keeps throwing her way is a little off-putting.

Maybe four checklists would be better. Or maybe a glass of wine.



G Benson spent her childhood wrapped up in any book she could get her hands on and—as her mother likes to tell people at parties—even found a way to read in the shower. Moving on from writing bad poetry (thankfully) she started to write stories. About anything and everything. Tearing her from her laptop is a fairly difficult feat, though if you come bearing coffee you have a good chance. Originally from Australia, she currently lives in Spain.
