Book Review: "Prime Time Romance" by Kate Robb

As Brynn’s 30th birthday nears, her life isn’t going in the direction she expected. She’s licking her wounds after a divorce, living with Josh, a handsome bartender, as a roommate in order to afford her mortgage, and her attempts to start dating haven’t been successful.

If there’s anything that brings her comfort, it’s binge-watching her favorite show from her teenage years, Carson’s Cove. Even though the show didn’t end the way anyone expected it to, Brynn is still obsessed with it.

When a birthday cake is delivered to Brynn, she wishes for the only thing she wants: to live happily ever after. But when she wakes up in the morning, she’s not in her bed, or even in her apartment. Instead, she’s woken up in Carson’s Cove, and it turns out Josh is also there.⁣

The thing is, everyone in Carson’s Cove thinks they’re Sloan, the lovelorn center of the series, and Fletcher, the town’s bad boy. In order to get back into their real lives, they need to ensure that Sloan finally finds her happy ever after with Spencer, the object of her affection for the run of the show.⁣

The more they try to play their parts as expected, the more Brynn (aka Sloan) discovers her true feelings are for Fletch (aka Josh). And it turns out that Carson’s Cove isn’t quite the idyllic place Brynn always thought it was…

I always enjoy books that combine romance and magical realism. This was a fun story and I really loved the characters. It would be so cool to wake up in my favorite show!
