Better Than the Movies

I loved this book because I thought it was more realistic than most romance books normally are, and the characters were quite relatable. I also found it interesting that there were quotes from famous rom-coms at the start of each chapter.

The main character loved making playlists, and so do I, so I really liked it when the author included a soundtrack at the end of the book with all the songs that the main character had attached memories to with the male main character.

I read Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter during one of the hardest times of my life.

It was in a single sitting while I had been holed up in the ER, and I hadn’t cried/laughed as hard as I had while reading in months.

BTTM, is an enemies-to-lovers story that sees our female protagonist burdened with the grief of losing her mother and how the loss continued to impact her.

The mannerisms of the leads of BTTM (Liz and Wes) remind me of younger versions of the characters I wrote.

Their love story progressed much like a feel-good… show more.

The banter in this one is next-level fantastic.

Liz Buxbaum – a fellow rom-com fan – is trying to get the attention of her crush who recently moved back to town. She enlists the help of her annoying neighbor Wes Bennett to get her crush’s attention, but things don’t go according to plan.

Liz and Wes have amazing chemistry. Really enjoyed this one.
