Please ma’am - I want some more
So, in my opinion, you can always tell a good book by the complex feelings of being satisfied with the story the author has written and wanting more.
Broken Records by Lilah Suzanne is just such a book.
Her language is wonderfully descriptive, and it draws you in to the world she’s creating. Immediately you’re introduced to Nico Takahashi, stylist to stars, who is a touch world-weary but also really seems to care about his clients, particularly a deliciously jaded former child star. Just when he seems to be thinking about giving up his career, enter Grady Dawson. Debonair, sweet, kind, troubled country star Grady Dawson. And the fun is just about to begin.
I cannot say enough good things about this novel, but the one thing that sticks out clearly in my mind is how delightful her secondary characters are. I love Nico, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted more of Grady, more of Nico’s business partner, Gwen, and her wife, Flora. Even Grady’s fellow country singer, Clementine Campbell, is intriguing.
All in all, I put this novel down wanting more. I’m just thankful that there is more coming.
