Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter

 


“Liz Buxbaum has always known that Wes Bennett was not boyfriend material. You would think that her next-door neighbor would be a prince candidate for her romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only proven himself to be a pain in the butt, ever since they were little. Wes was the kid who put a frog in her Barbie Dreamhouse, the monster who hid a lawn gnome's severed head in her little homemade neighborhood book exchange.


Flash forward ten years from the Great Gnome Decapitation. It's Liz's senior year, a time meant to be rife with milestones perfect for any big screen, and she needs Wes's help. See, Liz's forever crush, Michael, has just moved back to town, and—horribly, annoyingly—he's hitting it off with Wes. Meaning that if Liz wants Michael to finally notice her, and hopefully be her prom date, she needs Wes. He's her in.


But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz her magical prom moment, she's shocked to discover that she actually likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own perception of what Happily Ever After should really look like.” - taken from Goodreads.com


Liz Buxbaum is looking for her happily ever after. When her childhood crush, Michael Young, moves back into town, Liz sets her sights on him. When she finds out that her next door neighbor and childhood tormentor, Wes Bennett, is speaking to Michael, she asks Wes for his help in securing a date. With a parking space on the line, Wes agrees. What Liz doesn't expect is to fall in love with someone who is not Michael.
