Better Than The Movies

Perfect for fans of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett; this sweet and funny (Kerry Winfrey; author of Waiting for Tom Hanks) teen rom-com follows a hopelessly romantic teen girl and her cute yet obnoxious neighbor as they scheme to get her noticed by her untouchable crush. Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool; aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he's back in town; Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar-and maybe snag him as a prom date-even befriend Wes Bennet. The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies; but Wes has only been a pain in Liz's butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet; somehow; Wes and Michael are hitting it off; which means Wes is Liz's in. But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment; she's shocked to discover that she 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 ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.
