Wesley.” Michael did a bro handshake with Wes—when had they had time to choreograph that little touch of adorability?—and said, “You were right on about the biology teacher.”

Better Than the Movies is a Young adult fiction book which is written by a well-known Lynn Painter who is also known for Mr. Wrong Number and Accidentally Amy which was published in the year 2022. All in all though, full of cute, funny, and endearing moments between the characters, Better Than The Movies is an adorable and entertaining read, so it’s perfect for rom-com lovers! Each chapter is introduced with a quote from a classic romance film and there is even a playlist at the end that goes with the story of the characters! Better Than the Movies is about a hopeless romantic Liz, who tries to ensure a happily-ever-after moment with her longtime crush, but instead finds herself captivated to the lad next door. Now. Wes. I loved him so much, and he had me screeching MULTIPLE different times. He's the bad boy next door but he's also so sweet and kind, and not really a bad boy at all, it's just that he's portrayed that way because Liz despised him. I love him so much and I want him for myself. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have issues when characters lie in books but at some point I think to myself “will this character ever experience consequences and will she learn?”No, but that’s beside the point. He invited Michael right in front of us. It’s common courtesy that he should invite us, too.” A rom-com with rom-com references, fake dating and enemies to lovers, all while the MCs are neighbors and childhood friends frienamies??! This was like a dream come true. All while trying to get Michael to notice her, there’s the side story of Liz dealing with her mother’s death when she was a child, and her shaky relationship with her best friend who she seems to lie at every turn of the book (and I was getting just as tired as the friend was). She seems to have blinders on all for the sake of what she thinks is her happy ending with her crush. At first, I related to Liz because I see things through the eyes of books and movies as well. I enjoyed her description of being someone into vintage style and having headphones on wherever she goes. As the story moved on though, I started to see how clueless she was and I started to enjoy the role of Wes a lot more. Yes, he was annoying and immature at times, but you can tell he actually cares for Liz and that is endearing. I’ll text you the details. I gotta go—If I’m late to my next class, I’ve got detention for sure.” He turned and started jogging in the other direction with a yell of “Later, guys.”

I tried to keep my expression neutral as I listened to Wes ask my Michael to come to his party. I mean, Wes did hang out with the guys that Michael used to know, but still. They were best friends all of a sudden or something? Lynn Painter is one of the most famous and well known authors. She usually writes Young Adult and Romantic novels for both children and for adults. Painter is a bestselling Author of the New York Times and USA Today. Lynn lives in Omaha, Nebraska, with her husband and children. We turned down the west wing, and before I had a chance to even look at her, I saw him walking toward me. I mean, technically, I had a prom date; I was going with Joss. It’s just… going to prom with my best friend felt like such a fail. I knew we’d have a good time—we were grabbing dinner beforehand with Kate and Cassidy, the funnest of our little friend group—but prom was supposed to be the pinnacle of high school romance. It was supposed to be poster-board promposals, matching corsages, speechless awe over the way you look in your dress, and sweet kisses under the cheesy disco ball. this is not quite as serious as it might sound, because my general and in fact preferred state of being is "in the depths of some sort of active breakdown," but still. i have a flair for the dramatic so i encourage you to take this seriously if at all possible.No, thanks,” I muttered, and turned my attention to the front of the room as Mrs. Adams came in and asked for homework. We passed our papers forward, and she started talking about literary things. Everyone began taking notes on their school-issued laptops, and Colton Sparks gave me a chin nod from his desk in the corner. This book was also funny too: a lot of the lines made me laugh, and though it could be cheesy, cringey, and cliche, isn't that what you want out of a rom-com?
