All of a sudden, Liz is noticing things about Wes she hadn’t before. After enlisting her neighbor and nemesis, Wes Bennett, as her teammate in getting Michael to notice her, things get sticky. When her childhood crush, Michael, moves back into town, Liz goes on the hunt to get him to notice her as the grown-up young woman she is and not the “little weirdo” she was. Like people see life through the eyes of their favorite books, Liz sees things through the eye lens of the romantic comedies she grew up loving. Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter is a rom-com young adult book that follows Liz, a young girl who is smitten with her mom’s old collection of romantic comedy movies and sees life (and romance) through the eyes of the movies.
