I already had high hopes for this book upon starting it, but I didn't expect to like it that much, especially given I don't read a lot of straight romance.

Better Than The Movies had me giggling and kicking my feet on the train. Wes and Liz' relationship is so cute, and I loved their banter both before and during their relationship.

I also liked how the death of Liz' mom was handled, and how it describes that grief can really consume you, even for years after the fact.

The only thing I really disliked was Liz hiding everything she did regarding Michael from her best friend, Jocelyn. I understand that Jocelyn would have probably teased her about it, but it just felt like a setup for some disaster happening later in the book.

It’s a cute and cringey teenage romance.

This book was cute. Overall, I liked it. I found Liz to be annoying at times. I'm not the target audience for this book and I struggled with all the high school feels and teenage angst.
