| 5 stars | CAWPILE 9.7 | Ages 14+ | Holy CRAP this book was fantastic. I haven’t finished a book this fast since May and I enjoyed every single wild second of it. It’s officially been 11 days since I finished it and I still want to reread it so badly. I’ve had a lot of time to stew on my feelings, so I hope that I can express them in a way that’s worthy of this masterpiece.

First off, I LOVE this cover and how it's Wes and Liz posing different romcom movie covers.

Bout freaking time I reread this brilliant masterpiece. I like my old review so I’m just going to leave it below. And I don’t rly have anything else to add. But yeah this book makes me so happy and I’m a little pissed at myself that it’s taken me this long to reread. 😂


4.8 stars | Ages 14+

My feelings for this book are beyond words. This book doesn't get enough

This was a sweet, easy YA that I thoroughly enjoyed.
It gave me The Kissing Booth vibes...

The MMC was so charismatic, I thought he was great. Very sweet to the FMC and had great humour.

While it was obvious early on how it would end this book was enjoyable.

6/5 stars

I haven't been in a very ready mood lately, like I've been having a lot of slumps due to summer hw for school, but this book pulled me right out of any of my slumpiness, if even just for a few days.

Better Than the Movies was an excellent rom-commy book that filled me with so much love, joy, and sadness. The characters were great. The plot was cute and still really well thought out, and I just had an amazing time reading this book. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I also just want to make it noted that I love Wes so

Such a fun and cute book, I’m so glad I finally got around to reading it. The discussions of grief are done soooo well, and the romance is absolutely amazing!

this book was addicting to read but liz’s character annoyed me at times, she could be so hurtful with the ones she cared for. i also wished they would’ve tackled her relationship with her dad a bit more.

what made this book for me was obviously WES!!! man i do love a man written by a woman, he was so charming and swoon worthy i loved him. i wish we saw even more of his personality and likes. overall it was good tho :)

4.5*??

idk for sure because I started this in a slump and I always like those books less...

I did really like this though! I wanted a bit more of Lizwes, but the moments we did get were really cute.
I also think the subplots were well developed and really contributed to the story and character development of Liz.
