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.

I love a good HEA! 

This was an adorable teen romance that hit all the right places. Moments where I was giggling with excitement and others where I wanted to grab Lizzy and Wes’ shoulders and shake some sense into them! 

The movies quoted and referenced throughout the book had me re-watching some of my favourite romcoms of the 90s.
