Liz hates her annoyingly attractive neighbour but hes the only in with her long-term crush
Perpetual daydreamer and hopeless romantic 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 hes back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radarand maybe snag him as a prom dateeven befriend Wes Bennet.
The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbour might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Lizs 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 Lizs in.
But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, shes shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must re-examine everything she thought she knew about loveand rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.
Better Than the Movies features quotes from the best-loved rom-coms of cinema and takes you on a rollercoaster of romance that isnt movie-perfect but jaw-dropping and heart-stopping in unexpected ways.
