Spoiler alert! In this episode we conclude the fun and happy book, The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman. This book left us thinking deeply but also threw in a lot of good feelings. This episode was even more fun because we invented our own drink! But, we need a name for our new drink so make sure to comment, DM, or email us your suggestions! Our drink is vanilla ice cream with any flavor of Crown Royal (our favorite is peach). Listen to see why we picked this drink!
