⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SO SWEET. A very sweet YA book that reads like a 90s romcom. It reads so fast, it’s sweet and fun and just a cute story. Brief summary: Better Than the Movies is about Liz Buxbaum, a fabulously eccentric high schooler coping with the grief of having lost her mom--while navigating the sparkly idea--and messy reality--of romance, with the inspiration of her mom's favorite romantic comedies.
