Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter is a charming YA rom-com about a girl who's obsessed with romantic movies and the boy next door who might just give her a real-life happily ever after.
Liz Buxbaum has been in love with her next-door neighbor Michael since she was nine years old. When he moves back to town, she sees her chance to finally make him notice her. There's just one problem: she needs help from Wes Bennett, the annoying boy next door who's been her nemesis since childhood.
Wes agrees to help Liz win over Michael, but as they spend more time together recreating scenes from classic rom-coms, Liz starts to wonder if she's been chasing the wrong guy all along. Maybe real love isn't like the movies maybe it's even better.
