Description

#1 New York Times Bestseller

In this highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling Better Than the Movies, Wes and Liz struggle to balance their feelings for each other with the growing pains of being a college student in a “worthy second-chance romance” (Kirkus Reviews).

For a few beautiful months, Wes had his dream girl: strong-willed girl-next-door Liz. But right as the two were about to set off to UCLA to start their freshman year together, tragedy struck. Wes was left dealing with the fallout, which ultimately meant losing Liz in the process.

Flash forward months and months later and Wes and Liz find themselves in college, together. In a healthier place now, Wes knows he broke Liz’s heart when he ended things, but he is determined to make her fall back in love with him.

Wes knows Liz better than anyone, and he has a foolproof plan to win her back with the rom-com worthy big gestures she loves. Only…Liz will have none of it. Wes has to scheme like a rom-com hero to figure out how to see her. Even worse, Liz has a new friend…a guy friend.

Still, Wes won’t give up, adapting his clever plans and going hard to get Liz’s attention and win back her affection. But after his best efforts get him nowhere, Wes is left wondering if their relationship is really over for good.

    I didn’t think I could love this being that situation it opens up with, but I do. I saw mixed reviews and ultimately needed more Liz & Wes. Much different than the first but I enjoyed it so much. *Mrs Painter please write a BTTM in Wes POV*

    This is not my favorite but still good. I feel like there was a lot more grief and depression than there was romance. The ending was cute but I feel like I expected more. Unpopular opinion: maybe Better Than The Movies should have stayed a stand alone book. Love Lynn Painter books ❤️
  • fit with theme good
