I'd like to express my gratitude to NetGalley. I had the opportunity to peruse an initial version of this book, and more recently, I revisited it thanks to NetGalley granting me renewed access.

Kate Robb's "Prime Time Romance" whisked me away on a journey reminiscent of 2000s teen dramas, infused with a touch of enchanting alternate reality. It was an absolute delight!

Let's start with Brynn, our protagonist. Recently single and navigating the complexities of post-divorce adulthood, she epitomizes relatability. Who hasn't sought solace in the comforting embrace of their favorite television series during life's tumultuous moments? And speaking of TV shows, Carson's Cove serves as a sanctuary, offering Brynn a glimmer of hope amidst life's chaos.

The narrative takes a surprising turn when Brynn and her roommate Josh find themselves inexplicably transported into the heart of Carson's Cove. Suddenly, they're not just Brynn and Josh; they've become Sloan and Fletch, integral characters within this televised world.

What ensues is a delightful exploration of familiar tropes and heartwarming moments as Brynn and Josh navigate this new reality, striving to fulfill Brynn's desire for a fairy-tale ending. Sparks ignite, emotions run high, and soon you find yourself cheering for these characters as if they were your closest confidants.

While I adored the romance in this tale, I yearned for additional heart-fluttering moments between Brynn and Josh to truly intensify the emotional connection. Yet, what truly elevated this book were the myriad pop culture references that had me positively giddy! From subtle nods to beloved TV classics to nostalgic Easter eggs sprinkled throughout, "Prime Time Romance" serves as a heartfelt homage to the teen dramas that left an indelible mark on a generation.

If you're seeking a feel-good read that seamlessly merges romcom allure with a healthy dose of nostalgia, "Prime Time Romance" is the perfect choice. Kate Robb has masterfully crafted a narrative as addictive as your favorite binge-worthy TV series, complete with characters you'll champion until the very last page.
