Prime Time Romance: A Novel By Kate Robb

In this delightfully nostalgic and fresh romance, newly divorced Brynn finds herself longing for a happy ending she’s yet to achieve in her own life. Approaching her thirtieth birthday, she’s living with her roommate, Josh, to make ends meet and trying to adjust to her new reality. Her solace comes in the form of Carson’s Cove, her favorite 2000s teen soap. Despite its cliffhanger ending that left the love story between characters Sloan and Spencer unresolved, the show remains perfect in Brynn’s eyes—where everything seems to work out, unlike in her own life.

When a surprise birthday cake arrives at her doorstep, Brynn makes a wish for the happily-ever-after she’s always dreamed of. The next morning, she wakes up not in her apartment, but in Carson’s Cove—and Josh is there too. But they’re no longer Brynn and Josh; they’re Sloan and Fletch, the bad boy of the town, and everyone in Carson’s Cove knows them. To return home, Brynn must ensure that Sloan and Spencer finally get together, fulfilling her wish.

As Brynn and Josh navigate the drama-filled world of Carson’s Cove, they begin to realize that life in the show isn’t as perfect as it seemed. With growing feelings for each other complicating their mission, they must decide whether to stick to the script or let real love change the story’s ending. Is love on the small screen truly better than the real thing, or will Brynn and Josh find their own happily-ever-after in each other?
