Nothing Like the Movies by Lynn Painter
idk if i've written a review on bttm but i recall rating it high and i want to take that back soooo this is kind of a review for both books yay
i rated bttm a 4.75 because i really love the vibes and how it references some of my favourite romcom movies and it is a cute and fun little romance book. but now that i've read ntlm, i can't help but think that maybe my rating was too influenced by the people on tiktok saying they really really love this book, so i'm dropping it to a 3.5 since 4.75 is a bit too generous.
anywayyy, i hate this book sooooo much. i don't get why we need it when we were already happy and in love??? wes is such a red flag and nobody can convince me otherwise! (NO NOT EVEN THATBREAKING UP WITH LIZ BECAUSE HE CARES FOR HER BULLSHIT ) i hate it whenever i turn the page and i see his pov and i hate how liz was only lips, legs, and chanel no. 5 to him. every time he talks about liz he gets super fucking creepy about it. and don't get me started with the writing. it was just so messy and all over the place and if i have to read another "oh god" and "dammit" i'm gonna pull my hair out. i wanted to dnf this so bad but i only had like 50 pages left and those 50 pages weren't any better.
