Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter
5.0

Sweet , fuzzy feelings kind of novel

A cute feel good story . This was a great little coming of age story about a high school girl navigating life and love after the loss of her mother . The play on different movies and soundtracks to accentuate the fmc’s feelings was a wonderful and unique touch. I also liked the honesty of the character having to navigate her journey with grief as her life developed . It’s predictable like a movie as its title nods to but a great feel good story.
