Better Than the Movies

Product Information

After Wes helps her clean up, he advises Liz on what to wear and how to act around Michael, promising to praise her in front of him whenever he can. Liz is a bit of a dreamer – she lives her life in terms of romantic comedy movies, moments she shared with her mother from the time she was small. This cult classic movie was so shocking it earned an NC-17 rating, but it was still tame compared to the sickening violence of Bret Easton Ellis’ 1991 novel of the same name.

It’s this she uses to get him to help her connect with Michael although it does seem like Wes might have different motives.

The story is everything you expect from a romance novel but it has so much heart to it and you just fall in love with Liz and Wes. 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! He’s friends with Michael and will be the way she gets invited to parties that Michael will be at, or other events. In grade school, Wes was the guy who’d put a frog in my Barbie DreamHouse and a decapitated lawn gnome’s severed head in my homemade Little Free Library. The novel tells the story of Liz Buxbaum, a senior in high school with a passion for romance movies inherited from her late mother.

But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael sWe’ve all probably behaved like that at some point to be honest so it’s understandable and relatable at times. 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. Obviously, Young Adult books are THE best, but I do have a soft spot for poetry and adult books also.
