“I’m too drunk for dick jokes.”
“Too drunk is the exact right time for dick jokes.” She stretches her legs out and plops her feet into Nico’s lap. Nico glares down at her feet and thinks about shoving them off, but decides to leave them there. Her toenails are painted purple. It’s cute.
“You’re cute,” he tells her, holding his thumb and index finger parallel in front of his face. “Tiny and cute, like this.”
Gwen laughs. And laughs. And laughs some more until Nico starts to laugh, too. “Oh wow, you are too drunk.”

ARC Book Review for Broken Records by @lilahsuzanne

ARC Book Review for Broken Records by @lilahsuzanneBroken Records was
a wonderful read. It’s a lovely romantic tale that tells the story of Nico and
Grady. They come from very different backgrounds, but end up in the intertwined
worlds of fashion and music.Lilah offers rich descriptions of what the characters wear
as it speaks to their personalities, while the music speaks to their hearts. Oh
and I loved Grady’s hobby. So cute! But you have to read the story to find out
what it is!
If you’re a fan of Lilah’s previous two novels, then Broken Records is a must read. If you’re new to her writing, she crafts stories that tug at your heartstrings, have dumb boys in love that make you swoon (including some pretty hot scenes), and interesting supporting characters that enrich the world of these stories.(minor spoilers below the cut)
