Better Than the Movies, by Lynn Painter
3.5
I’m not gonna lie, I had high hopes for this book but I wasn’t totally into it.
While I loved Liz and Wes’ banter and their relationship, I’m not a big fan of Liz or more like some of the decisions she made. I got secondhand embarrassment in pretty much every scene Micheal was either mentioned or in it. I also did not like the last part of the book with the whole prom thing, I feel like it was so unnecessary and it could have had a better turn out if she declined.
One of the things that I did like though was her character developmen, especially when talking about how she treated the other girls at her school. I didn’t really like how she described Laney at first but I’m glad she got over it. And also her relationship with her stepmom.
Wes, for me, was so cute. He did however, say some really hurtful things to Liz towards the end that I feel like deserved a better apology.
Overall, cute light fluffy romcom, just not the one for me.
