Overall a good book. It wasn't to dark but had some emotional topics. Also had a good enemies to lovers trope. I will say some of the things that the characters did were too cheesy for me. But not to bad. A little bit of spice, depending on your spice preference. I prefer minimal spice and it was a little to much for me.

This was my book club's pick for February and I am devasted that I didn't read it then! This is the perfect Valentine's book. It was witty, heartful, and so reminiscent of classic rom-coms - I can't believe I almost put it down. The relationship between Liz and Wes made me discover my love for the fake dating trope. Yes, it was a little predictable, but their chemistry was wonderful!

Wes' lifelong crush was something I called early on and I was dying the whole way through. I love that tension!!

Multiple parts got me smiling and I couldn't help myself from laughing in class.
Better Than the Movies was delightful, charming, and full of so much personality. I just couldn't put it down.
