That being said this book is the perfect balance of serious and fun. I can’t imagine going through all of that without my mother and I just wanted to give Liz a hug. Liz is still processing the loss of her mother and with all the senior milestones around the corner it isn’t easy. “What was I even doing – trying to live-action mu own personal version of She’s All That?”īetter Than the Movies isn’t only all fun. All of the references to rom-coms and even the fact that Liz creates soundtracks for everything in her life had me flying through the book even faster. She wanted this so much that she was even willing to call in the help of the annoying next door neighbor. It was so much fun reading her thoughts of how everything was going to happen. So when Michael moves back she sees all of her dreams coming true. Liz is waiting for her perfect meet cute and love of her life. Our main character Liz is a big rom-com fan and used to watched them all with her mother. This book was everything I was expecting and more! For all rom-com fans out there I definitely suggest picking this one up! Once I picked up Better Than the Movies I just couldn’t stop. “My inheritance was the knowledge that love is always in the air, always a possibility, and always worth it.” And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love-and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.īut as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar-and maybe snag him as a prom date-even befriend Wes Bennet. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away.
Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. In this rom-com about rom-coms, in the spirit of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, a hopeless romantic teen attempts to secure a happily-ever-after moment with her forever crush, but finds herself reluctantly drawn to the boy next door. Of course, I said yes! Today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought.
So you can imagine how excited I was when the publisher contacted me to ask if I wanted an e-arc of this book. If anyone is a fan of rom-coms it’s definitely me, so I think it’s safe to say that Better Than the Movies has been on my radar for awhile.
