Hey friends,

What have you been reading lately?

For those of you who were into the boy band and Britney Spears music scene of the late ’90s and fans of Disney and Nickelodeon shows in the early 2000’s/2010’s, do I have a treat for you!

Here are two book recommendations to scratch your 90’s nostalgia itch!

Honey by Isabel Banta

If you were part of the pop music craze of the late ’90s, then this book is for you. The novel is about Amber Young, a young girl from New Jersey who wants to make it big in the music industry. As she rises through the ranks of pop stardom, she is faced with questions about who she is and what she really wants out of life…and what she’s willing to do to get it. The story is clearly a fictionalized telling of Britney Spears mixed with Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson with some Justin Timberlake thrown in for good measure. It is most definitely a commentary on how the music industry treats its young stars. But as someone whose walls were plastered with posters of Backstreet Boys and *NSync this was a fun look back on that period of time. So, if you are looking for a nostalgic read, pick this one up!

The Reunion by Kayla Olson

What a cute book! Light and fluffy with romance and Nickelodeon/Disney show nostalgia vibes. This is about Liv, the star of a late 00’s/10’s teen show called Girl on the Verge. The cast is brought back for a reunion and a potential reboot, which means that Liv with be face to face with her former best friend and crush, Ransom. I really enjoyed the relationships between the characters. It very much reminded me of the good old days when Dawson’s Creek and The OC were the craze. If you’re looking for something fun and light, this is the jam. An especially good book for summer by the pool or at the beach.

Final Thoughts

That’s it for now, friends.
