"Be Kind, Rewind" was a fast-paced, funny, and sweet workplace romance that featured an ensemble of endearing, quirky characters. I loved the banter between protagonists Naomi Parker and Ben Watson, as well as all of the movie quotes and cultural references from the 1980s/1990s. (The Super Bowl Shuffle!) Most importantly, however, this book was just easy to read. The dialogue flowed, descriptions were perfectly crafted, and I felt like I was standing next to the characters and experiencing the same events as them.
I very much enjoyed this book and recommend it for all fans of sweet contemporary(-ish) romance and romantic comedy. I look forward to picking up the next book
in the series.

About "Be Kind, Rewind"
A 90s nostalgia, enemies to lovers novel from Melissa Brown, set in her brand new Spotlight Video Series!
She's always dreamed of living her life in the spotlight. But for now, she's just another college student working at Spotlight Video.
The year is 1994 and Naomi Parker has always dreamed of being in the movies. She's hoping to make that dream a reality by enrolling in the best performing arts program the Midwest has to offer. But respected programs cost money...lots of it...and her scholarship will only go so far. To make ends meet, Naomi gets a job at the most popular video store on campus, Spotlight Video, and she quickly becomes part of its unique culture. There's only one employee she can't stand, the Assistant Manager, Buzzkill Ben.
Ben Watson is tired of the employee revolving door at Spotlight Video. He's tired of people calling in sick, blowing off work, and treating the place like a bar with no cover charge. As the Assistant Manager, he works hard to balance work and school so that he can make something of himself when he graduates. There's only one problem...he can't get the newest employee out of his head. She's just like all the others—she's constantly late, doesn't take things seriously and questions his authority. But she's also nothing like the others, or anyone he's ever met, and that's the problem.
Will working closely together spark a romantic interest between these very different people, or will Ben be a buzzkill after all?
