This was so interesting! I hadn't watched all of the shows that are highlighted in this book, but they were all interesting reads regardless.

Quick, fun listen.  I enjoyed the beginning (Fresh Prince, My So Called Life, Dawson's Creek, Freaks and Geeks), then sort of zoned out a bit during the middle (The O.C., Friday Night Lights) because I haven't watched those shows, but was pulled back in again for Glee.  #teampacey

Fun, nostalgic read for anyone who watched these shows. Coming-of-age shows, movies and books will always get me. 
You can’t read this without also stopping to watch/rewatch some of the episodes that are mentioned. So, this was an entertaining trip down memory lane.

I feel like this book was written for me and teen shows that I enjoyed. All but two are deeply embedded in my soul. I enjoyed the validation and admiration for things that I love that often don't get the credit they deserve. This was a cozy warm blanket of happiness.
