Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter is a charming YA romantic comedy about Liz Buxbaum, a hopeless romantic obsessed with movie-perfect love stories. When her longtime crush returns to town, she teams up with her annoying neighbor, Wes, to win him over. But in the process, Liz starts to realize that real love might not look like the movies—it might be even better. The book is witty, heartfelt, and full of rom-com nostalgia.
