Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter

Make sure you're not lactose intolerant before picking this one up, because there is a lot of cheese.
A cute, predictable romance with nice character depth and growth. I sympathized with Liz's grief and her complicated relationships with friends. Wes was a golden retriever of a love interest with no flaws, which is just a tad unrealistic.
Liz's character did get a little annoying at points (pockets in dresses are great, but I highly doubt Prom bouncers care about them, much less are impressed with them), but it made sense considering the role she was trying to fill.
I'm not a music person, but I did look up many of the songs mentioned and listened to them while I read the book, which was a pleasant experience.
