The standout one would definitely have to Liz and Joss’, who were best friends. Of course, the romance wasn’t the only relationship I liked in Better Than The Movies – there were also some really amazing friendships. I loved reading the gradual development of their relationship, with their enemies-to-friends-to-lovers love story – which might just be my favourite trope! They fit so perfectly together and I loved all the adventures they went on, from the shopping trip and the baseball game through to when they finally got together. I think it goes without saying that Liz and Wes together were my favourite part of this book. There was just something about Liz and Wes that pulled me in and ensured I couldn’t step away from it until I had finished, which is always the sign of an amazing book!

I really enjoyed Better Than The Movies – in fact, I’d put it up there with my favourite reads of the year! Once I started it I truly couldn’t put it down and I ended up finishing it in less than a day. But as Liz and Wes start spending more time together she realises he’s not as bad as she thought – and that her Happily Ever After might not necessarily be what she first imagined. When her childhood crush, Michael, returns to town, though, he seems to hit it off with Wes, meaning Liz needs him as an in to get Michael to notice her and be her prom date. Hi everyone! Today I’m going to be reviewing Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter.īetter than The Movies follows the protagonist, rom-com obsessed Liz, who has always disliked her next door neighbor, Wes.
