The Reunion: A Novel
When two former teen stars reconnect at the reunion for their hit TV show, they discover their feelings for one another were not merely scripted in this charming and heartwarming novel perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne. Liv Latimer grew up on TV. As the star of the popular teen drama Girl on the Verge, Liv spent her adolescence on the screen trying to be as picture perfect as her character in real life. But after the death of her father and the betrayal of her on-screen love interest and off-screen best friend Ransom Joel, Liv wanted nothing more than to retreat, living a mostly normal life aside from a few indie film roles. But now, twenty years after the show's premiere, the cast is invited back for a reunion special, financed by a major streaming service. Liv is happy to be back on set, especially once she discovers Ransom has only improved with age. And their chemistry is certainly still intact. They quickly fall into their old rhythms, rediscovering what had drawn them together decades before. But with new rivalries among the cast emerging and the specter of a reboot shadowing their shoot, Liv questions whether returning to the past is what she needs to finally get her own happy ending.

This wasn't for me. I do like cheesy romances very much, but I think I prefer them more grounded and relatable. I think if you're looking to escape into the world of very rich celebrities and having their outfits and food described to you in present tense first person, you will love this. The writing is not bad and the characters have just enough substance to root for.
Took a while to get into this book but once I was hooked I couldn't put it down. Second-chance romances aren't my favorite trope but the characters were likable enough I ended up enjoying it considerably by the end of the book. My only complaint was the amount of detail that went into describing each magazine shoot, press appearance, etc. etc. and having to read every person's name that was on the set that day.
A sweet novel about a former teenage sitcom cast set to do a reunion show with themes of coming of age, parent-child relationship healing, boundaries, and closed door second chance romance. We could entertain the idea of a sequel to this book from Author Kayla Olson
