"Sometimes we get so tied up in our idea of what we think we want that we miss out on the amazingness of what we could actually have."

I've been curious about this author for quite some time now, but I wasn't quite sure if her books would be for me. I've been warned that her adult books are probably too steamy and to stick with her YA books, and I'm having the feeling this advice hits the nail on the head. I don't read a lot of YA anymore, but I can totally understand why Better Than The Movies is so popular. This is such a cute fake dating romance and basically an ode to romcoms, and I really enjoyed my time with this story. I loved the many romcom quotes at the beginning of the chapters as well as the references to movies and music in the story itself. They worked so well with the plot as well, and I liked the little something extra it added. I loved the whole enemies to lovers, childhood friends to lovers and fake dating elements this story had, although the love triangle vibe was a tad too strong for me. I like quirky and adorable characters, and both Wes and Liz fit the bill. I do have to say that I was a bit annoyed by Liz at times, and especially when it comes to how she treats the people close to her. I understand that she is still grieving her mother, but that doesn't really excuse just how bad she treats them at times. There were some other minor niggles that prevented me from giving it the full five stars, but I still very much enjoyed reading Better Than The Movies. I will be looking forward to the sequel coming out next year!

This is a very solid romance book. It was obvious from the beginning she was gonna end up with Wes but the whole journey was what i stayed for. I wanted to see how it would pan out and i wasn’t disappointed. Everything felt believable and something that happens to real people all the time. I was rooting for Liz and Wes the whole time and seeing them together brought such immense happiness. I gasped multiple times, I wanted to be there to shake some sense into her multiple times and i think that says what a great book it was. My heart is still racing cuz i just finished it.
