Becca's upcoming book Back Where We Started, which is set partially on the set of a 2010's teen soap, got us feeling nostalgic and inspired to talk about the early 2010s! We chat about what our lives were like during that era, the pop culture touchstones that stick out to us, our celeb crushes, celebrity ships, iconic albums, the launch of Instagram, and more!
