"Better Than the Movies" by Lynn Painter is a charming and heartwarming young adult romance that blends humor, nostalgia, and the magic of rom-coms. The story follows Liz Buxbaum, a high school senior who is obsessed with classic romantic movies and believes that her own life should play out like one. Liz has had a long-standing crush on her childhood friend, Michael, and she dreams of a perfect romance just like the ones she sees in movies.

When Liz’s childhood nemesis, Wes, suddenly reappears in her life, she reluctantly enlists his help to win Michael’s heart. Wes is everything Liz doesn’t expect—sarcastic, unpredictable, and not at all interested in the rom-com fantasy she’s determined to recreate. However, as they spend more time together, Liz starts to see Wes in a new light, and the chemistry between them becomes undeniable.

"Better Than the Movies" is a delightful, feel-good story about love, self-discovery, and the idea that life doesn’t always follow the script of a movie. Liz’s journey is filled with moments of humor, heartfelt emotions, and relatable struggles, making it a perfect read for fans of romantic comedies. The novel is a celebration of friendship, love, and the unexpected twists that make life even better than the movies.#dhari.pk
