Publisher Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller
In this highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling Better Than the Movies, Wes and Liz struggle to balance their feelings for each other with the growing pains of being a college student in a “worthy second-chance romance” (Kirkus Reviews).
For a few beautiful months, Wes had his dream girl: strong-willed girl-next-door Liz. But right as the two were about to set off to UCLA 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 and 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 the rom-com worthy big 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The young couple at the heart of Lynn Painter’s popular rom-com Better Than the Movies are still butting heads in this smart, witty sequel. Wes and Liz were supposed to be living happily ever after once they enrolled at UCLA together, but that was before tragedy struck. Wes’ father died, so he had to quit school to support his family, ultimately leading to the pair breaking up. But two years later, Wes has returned to UCLA on a baseball scholarship—and he wants to win Liz back. We loved how the tension immediately ratchets up as Liz is put in charge of the team’s social media presence, leading to all sorts of hilariously terse interactions. Along with its romantic will-they-or-won’t-they vibes, Nothing Like the Movies delivers a breezy portrait of campus life in California—with a little added fun for baseball fans.

Favorite book ever
Best book out there better than the first book
Just chef’s kiss
Loved how the book has two perspectives. Loved how we see WES💕💕 trying to get Liz back and showing how perfect he is. Definitely, Wes is the standard y’all😭💕💕
Absolutely Loved
I didn’t think I could love this being that situation it opens up with, but I do. I saw mixed reviews and ultimately needed more Liz & Wes. Much different than the first but I enjoyed it so much. *Mrs Painter please write a BTTM in Wes POV*
