⢠đ Birthday Wishes
⢠đş Marathoning Your Favorite Shows
⢠đ âAnd they were roommatesâŚâ
⢠đ Strawberry Wine
đ Newly divorced Brynn wakes up on her thirtieth birthday not in her apartment, but in "Carsonâs Cove," her favorite 2000s teen soap, alongside her roommate, Josh. To everyone else, theyâre not Brynn and Joshâtheyâre Sloan, the showâs sweetheart, and Fletch, the townâs bad boy. To get back home, they have to make sure Sloan and Spencer, the hometown heartthrob, finally get their happy ending. But as Brynn and Josh navigate the drama of "Carsonâs Cove," real feelings start to surface, threatening to rewrite the story entirely.
This was a quick read for me, and the fast pace was perfect for getting me back into the reading mood after taking a small break over the long weekend. The low-stakes conflict and high chemistry between Brynn and Josh had me feeling cozy yet eager to keep readingâI finished the book in one afternoon!
I do wish it had slowed down a bit, however. I blinked and was halfway through and it felt like hardly anything had happened. I wish the author had focused more on the main characterâs inner conflicts than the townâs predictable hijinks.
There are also a lot of easter eggs for those who spent the early 2000s watching countless episodes of "Dawsonâs Creek," "90210," and "Gilmore Girlsâ.đ
If you enjoy books like "A Novel Love Story" and "This Spells Love," youâll definitely enjoy "Prime Time Romance"! đď¸
