I don’t even know what to review. I finished, but was left confused about what I finished. It wasn’t bad, but just left not memorable.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I usually like enemies to lovers, but this book felt like a forced relationship, and I didn't care for the characters.

This was a cute romcom with a really interesting premise, but at times I felt like the romance wasn’t really there. I did have a fun time reading and the nostalgia of it all was great! Worth the read for a fun cozy time

Recently divorce, Brynn is forced to take on a roommate to pay her mortgage. Josh is a bartender with opposite schedule to Brynn. When a birthday cake is delivered to Brynn, she makes a wish and she finds herself in the setting of her favorite TV series. Josh also finds himself there. In order to return home, Brynn must take on the town's sweetheart character and give her the ending she deserves. Brynn quickly realizes that that ending is not what she wants.
Opinion
I devoured this book. The plot was a bit unusual and threw me for a loop for a bit. Once I got into it though, I was flying through the pages. It definitely had me thinking about what I wanted as a teenager and how my life is different now that I've been an adult FOREVER.
I really think those looking for a fun, not so serious read will love this book.
Many thanks to Net Galley and to Random House Publishing for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Kate Robb has written a fun, relatable novel in Prime Time Romance. The story is well written and the plot is a twist on an old classic.

Prime Time Romance by Kate Robb is a rough book. It's tagged and titled "romance," yet there is practically no romance. This is very misleading, and the plot is garbage. I had high hopes for this book and was let down.

I enjoyed the premise of this book, more than the execution. If you watched the teen shows of late 1990 early 2000 it gave you all those vibes. I just didn't love how our two characters interacted with each other. I didn't love how long it took our main character to wise up. The writing is well done.

3.75 stars

I adored This Spells Love by Kate Robb, and couldn't wait to read her follow-up novel. Although it didn't quite live up to her debut, I still really enjoyed Prime Time Romance!

We all have a TV show that we keep going back to for laughs and good feels (for me it's Friends!), and I loved how this was incorporated into the novel. Brynn and her roommate Josh enter into the fictional town that her favorite show is based on, and the curtain is lifted for Brynn as she meets the characters she spent many hours with on the screen, yet the reality is not all it's cracked up to be. Although Brynn thinks she wants a picture-perfect romance, she learns that there is some appeal to the messiness of real life and true love.

This was a cute, endearing novel and I had fun with it. Some of the TV show characters were a bit grating, but they all had their place in the storyline. This was a solid rom-com!

3.5 stars

Prime Time Romance by Kate Robb is a magical realism rom-com that takes the adage "be careful what you wish for" to a new level.

Brynn is turning the big 3-0 and on the night before her birthday she is rewatching her favorite teenage TV show, Carson's Cove, with her ridiculously attractive roommate Josh. When a cake is delivered at midnight, Brynn makes a wish to have her very own happily ever after situation and isn't sure what to think when she wakes up the next morning in Carson's Cove, only to discover that she accidentally brought Josh with her.

As we follow Brynn and Josh in Carson's Cove, we have to figure out who was the blond that delivered the birthday cake at midnight and how did he get Brynn and Josh there?

This is my first book by Kate Robb and I enjoyed the magical realism aspect to this rom-com. I enjoyed that the characters were adult and not teens and that they were "normal" adults. I thought that the premise was cute and recommend this book to anyone who loves rom-com movies and getting lost in a favorite comfort show.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

4/5 stars - This was refreshing and cute, and would be a great read for any 90's drama fan. I personally wasn't a Dawson's Creek person, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this book. I will say, if magical realism is not your cup of tea, a pair who finds themselves birthday-wished into a television show is probably not going to be for you. I thought this was very well done and did a great job of making the male main character very swoony! Overall a nice quick read that isn't your run-of-the-mill romance.

Thank you to Random House, NetGalley, and the author for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was cute! I thought the premise was done really well and I enjoyed the story over all. Lighthearted and not much to write home about but a good palette cleanser

Loveeeed this. Kate Robb is a new instant favorite of mine. I love her writing style and the characters she creates. Highly recommend

This book was a pleasant surprise.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, as it was a quick read and a good time.

A sweet little romcom that made me giggle and kick my feet! The main characters finding their own ways in the world together made my heart sing. Their chemistry was palpable from the minute they were introduced!

I DNFed this book at 20%. The magical element that sends the main characters to a fictional town was a hard pass for me. Didn't care for that aspect of the book. Rating this book 3 stars because while this book was not for me it might be the perfect book for someone else.

This was such a cute and fun read! If you’re a fan of 2000s romcoms or Dawson’s Creek, definitely pick this one up! Kate Robb does a fantastic job blending magical realism with a quirky, lighthearted love story. I gave it a 3.75, as I was drawn in by the unique concept, something I hadn’t encountered before. What I really loved was how Brynn and Josh’s adventure together helped them work through many of their real-life struggles, an eye-opening journey for both of them. As for their chemistry and connection, it felt pretty average to me. Overall, though, it’s a fun, quick, and easy read that I think a lot of readers will enjoy.

This book gave me all the 2000s teen drama TV shows nostalgic feels! I love the story line of Brynn and Josh and how they are transported into Brynn's favorite TV show 15 year after the cliffhanger season finale in order to finish the story! I especially love that both characters took on the roles of already established characters in the TV show in order to integrate into Carson's Cove.

This book definitely gave me all the feels, magical realism, and the spice that I was hoping for from Kate Robb! The story really has an underlying message of valuing what is right in front of you. While I did really enjoy this book I did feel like many points of the story were very predictable making the book drag a little for me.

I listen to the audiobook and did enjoy that we got both Josh and Brynn's POVS with different narration.

The nineties/00’s sitcom, rom com lover in me absolutely adored Prime Time Romance - and Katie Robb gave the perfect nostalgic feels.

Providing a review in exchange for NetGalley ARC

If I'm being honest, I just couldn't feel the romance. I found the pacing odd and Brynn and Josh didn't seem to have much chemistry. Brynn seemed more focused on the TV show and cared more about that. I don't think the two really had much reason to fall in love with one another. I swear Brynn spent way more time with side characters than she did with Josh, and while they had some swoony and deep moments, I couldn't feel their connection at all.

I do still find the story entertaining and enjoyable, but the romance could have been more flushed out.

If Katie Robb has no fans I’m deceased.

I just so happen to love Pleasantville and teen dramas like Riverdale, Dawsons Creek and the OC so this was a massive hit for me. I was so deeply enamoured that I was sad when it was over. More please??
