booksonmars 's review for:

Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter
3.5
funny lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

i wasn't really sold at the beginning; i found liz way too airheaded and kind of a girl hater towards laney. however as the book progressed i did lose myself in the cheesiness of it all, and the romantic chemistry between liz and wes was definitely movie worthy. i didn't really love the interjections of music references, but i could relate to liz seeing herself in a movie, aren't we all? i might check out the newly announced sequel. 

this book was definitely cute enough to make me rewatch 27 dresses again.
