"She's not you."
"What?"
"She. Isn't. You." ⋆˖°
Just finished this after binge reading the last 150 pages and now idk what to do with my devastatingly single life. I have a feeling I'm going to spend the rest of my days waiting for my own Wes Bennett who's never going to show up. *peers across the street to the house that's on sale*
I'm dramatic, I know. I can't help it.
Also, did I mention that I freaking LOVED this book??? It was everything I expected it to be (and my expectations were high)
Better than the Movies is adorable, funny, entertaining, and had me furiously reading until the last sentence. The writing style for contemporary romances can be crap (*cough* the summer I turned pretty *cough*) but Lynn Painter's writing is actually so well done!! The story never felt cheesy or forced, it all just flowed together so well.
AND THE CHARACTERS ARE SO CUTEEE. I loved Liz, and I loved how she was 'different', but not in the cliche way. It really felt like she had her own personality, not a copy and paste from every other cliche main character. AND WES. I mean, come on! He was the best part of the book fr. Like... do I need to say more? 🤭
And I'm SO glad I bought a physical copy because I'm obsessed with the movie quotes at the beginning of each chapter. Lynn Painter is a genius, really. This book is just unbeatable.
This book made my heart happy. If you haven't already, please do yourself a favor and read this book. It's a gem 🥺

amazing review<3
AND we all need a Wes Bennett
AND we all need a Wes Bennett

Just a question, what made you rate it 4 stars? I haven't read it, so I'd just like to know the content.


I figured there must have been some cussing in it. Thanks, Ella!! 💚
