Read this in one sitting. I watched every single one of these shows when they first aired, and this book was a time capsule for me. So many great memories. So much fun for those of us who grew up on My So-Called Life and later Friday Night Lights and and and. An easy handsell.

if you know me, you know i love a good teen show so this was such a great read! it highlights seven shows, some of them i absolutely love, some i’d seen a few episodes of, and a couple i hadn’t seen a single episode. it was super interesting for a pop culture nerd like me to read about the making-of these shows, even those i haven’t watched. i did know a lot of the behind the scenes info about some of the shows (dawson’s creek, the oc, and freaks and geeks), but still loved reading those sections. now, i’m off to binge watch friday night lights for the first time!

This was very cozy and interesting to listen to. I hadn't watched most of the shows discussed, but it somehow still gave me nostalgia.

One word… Nostalgic!

I flew through this non-fiction book based on some of my favorite TV shows from the 90s and early 2000s. I mean come on Fresh Prince of Bel Air, My So Called Life, & The OC just to name a few. Thea takes you on a behind the scenes tour sharing info an insider would only know! A quick step back in time that is
