I especially loved that she made mood and event-inspired playlists and had a love for film music – this is pretty much me. Who didn’t completely change their personality as a teen to impress the person you fancy? She was definitely flawed, but that’s what made her so interesting. Liz was such a great character, I feel like she’s very relatable. It’s one of the best I’ve ever read, and I’m not exaggerating. Better Than the Movies has become my go-to romance recommendation. I raced through Better Than the Movies and it was honestly such a perfect ‘I don’t know what I feel like reading so I want something easy’ type of book. There are slight spoilers in this review, but nothing that isn’t very obvious either from the cover or the reader having general romance trope knowledge.
I always forget just how much I love contemporary romances until I read one and then they are all I want to read for a while.
It was genuinely one of my favourite reads of 2022. I did not expect to love Better Than the Movies as much as I did. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love-and rethink her own perception of what Happily Ever After should really look like. He’s her in.īut as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she actually likes being around Wes. Meaning that if Liz wants Michael to finally notice her, and hopefully be her prom date, she needs Wes. See, Liz’s forever crush, Michael, has just moved back to town, and-horribly, annoyingly-he’s hitting it off with Wes. It’s Liz’s senior year, a time meant to be rife with milestones perfect for any big screen, and she needs Wes’s help.
Wes was the kid who put a frog in her Barbie Dreamhouse, the monster who hid a lawn gnome’s severed head in her little homemade neighbourhood book exchange.įlash forward ten years from the Great Gnome Decapitation. You would think that her next-door neighbor would be a prince candidate for her romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only proven himself to be a pain in the butt, ever since they were little. Liz Buxbaum has always known that Wes Bennett was not boyfriend material.
