Better Than the Movies
by Lynn Painter
“Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. 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.
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. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.
But 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. 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.”
Okay, it took me forever to finish this book, but I blame that on me being sick and so fatigued that when I was coming home from work I didn’t want anything to do with listening to a book and just wanted to sleep. Then, now being home from work sick, I am not walking Riot, so I am not listening to audiobooks. Anyway, my audiobook had someone on a hold with it, so I had to make myself listen to it. I’m glad I did and thought this book was cute and charming. It gets bonus points for quoting my favorite movie: 27 dresses and then referencing Taylor Swift songs. I enjoyed the friendships, the will they won’t they trope, and the grief. Definitely pick this book up.
