This one made my 90s heart happy. I mostly wanted to read because I loved Dawson’s Creek when in high school. I found the entire book very interesting. This was a perfect nostalgic listen.

this was a fun read, especially because i have watched and enjoyed all of these shows except for my so-called life. dawson's creek and the oc were maybe the two most formative shows of my teenage years and those were my favorite chapters! also after every chapter i was thinking, oh i should rewatch this show! so maybe i'll rewatch one soon lol.

This was a very interesting look at how seven teen shows from the 90s and early 00s shaped television. I enjoyed the behind the scenes look at how these shows were made and the creative process that went into them. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in pop culture of that era.

A fun and informative behind the scenes look at how some of the most iconic teen television shows came to be. Audiobook reads like a podcast if you’re into that, which I am. It was very interesting even though I’d only seen about half of the shows chronicled, and it inspired me to add others to my watch list.
