Nothing Like the Movies
by Lynn Painter
For a few beautiful months, Wes had his dream girl: the strong-willed girl next door Liz. But right as the two were about to set off for college 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 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 rom-com-worthy grand 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 can’t remember much from the first book, but I knew I really enjoyed it. I liked this one a lot too, but I wish it was a bit shorter.
I liked both Liz and Wes, but Clark and Sarah ended up as favorites. I’d love a book for them. There were some sweet romantic moments and quotes. I also liked that it took place in college. I liked all the baseball stuff and the parties.
Please be aware that there is talk of parents dying. Also some anxiety and underage drinking.
I gave this book 4 1/2 stars.
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR?
