ARC Review: As Seen on TV by Meredith Schorr

My review: 4⭐

I get excited when books take place near where I grew up and there are references to real towns that I know and have visited. It has been a while since I have been there though, so I can’t comment on if the scenery is depicted correctly.

From the big city of Manhattan to the small town of Pleasant Hollow ~ Adina is a freelance journalist trying to prove herself to get a full time job at a magazine. Her story is about a developer that is trying to bring chaos to this small town and create a high rise with all the bells and whistles. She really needs her story to make a splash in order to help her mother out financially, and herself since she works 3 jobs. She wasn’t expecting to meet a hottie, Finn.

Finn works for the developer, so Adina has an interest in speaking with him. Soon enough they have a more romantic interest in each other until she finds out something that could chance their dynamic.

I am not a Hallmark movie watcher, so I can’t attest to what others say about similarities, but I found this to be well written and I was really rooting for these two for the long haul at the beginning. I did prefer Finn pre~breakup, if you even want to call it that since they really weren’t together together. He started to bug me a bit, but then he was okay again. The ending was cute.

I was able to both read and listen to this one. 9 hours and 44 minutes and Emily Lawrence did a lovely job narrating. Her voice is very animated and she sounded so excited the whole book. I wasn’t in love with her man voice though.

This is my first time with this author and I’d be happy to read more from her.

Book blurb: Release date ~ June 7, 2022

Fans of the Hallmark Channel and Gilmore Girls will adore this delightful rom‑com about a city girl who goes in search of small-town happiness, only to discover life—and love—are nothing like the TV movies.

Emerging journalist Adina Gellar is done with dating in New York City. If she’s learned anything from made-for-TV romance movies, it’s that she’ll find love in a small town—the kind with harvest festivals, delightful but quirky characters, and scores of delectable single dudes. So when a big-city real estate magnate targets tiny Pleasant Hollow for development, Adi knows she’s found the perfect story—one that will earn her a position at a coveted online magazine, so she can finally start adulting for real . . . and maybe even find her dream man in the process. 

Only Pleasant Hollow isn’t exactly “pleasant.” There’s no charming bakery, no quaint seasonal festivals, and the residents are more ambivalent than welcoming. The only upside is Finn Adams, who’s more mouthwatering than the homemade cherry pie Adi can’t seem to find—even if he does work for the company she’d hoped to bring down. Suddenly Adi has to wonder if maybe TV got it all wrong after all. But will following her heart mean losing her chance to break into the big time?
