Nothing Like the Movies: fall back in love with dream romance in this instant no. 1 bestseller (Better than the movies, 2)

Great

A sweet, light-hearted rom-com that hits all the right notes. Lynn Painter’s writing is witty and engaging, and the characters feel relatable. While the story does lean into some familiar tropes, it’s done with charm and humor. A great weekend read if you enjoy contemporary romance with a feel-good vibe.

Wes and Liz are genuinely one of my favourite book couples. I Was really pissed at the start when I found out they weren’t together but it made sense for them to be where they were at by the end of the book to make them that much stronger as a couple and individually. Don’t even get me started on the king of yearning Wes Bennett, this book will hook you in!

Not as good as the first one

Firstly, I would like to mention my love for both Wes, Liz, Joss, Clark, Wade, AJ, Campbell, Noah, Michael, Mick and so many others that I adored. I would 100% recommend this duology, the writing is so elegant and allowed me to enter the carefully crafted world. I will miss Liz and Wes teasing each other and I am sort of upset with myself for finishing both books in two days.

Great book

When I found out that in the second book of Liz and Wes they showed as a couple of exes who are trying to step over the pain of the past to be happy together again, I was a little disappointed. How could a sweet end “better than the movies” turn into a sad story and almost not showing it (only through memories in dialogs). But further according to the book, I understood how much this story has a greater and deeper meaning in their love. Because despite how young they are, they have already overcome great difficulties that only strengthened their relationship. And it's beautiful to see how strong their bond became. Plus, I, as a person who in my head represents the scenes of books as from a third person (as if watching a film, not through relive characters life) The last “closing” scene after the epilogue was magnificent. This really gave me the same beautiful * FADE OUT * to me that I saw the credits in my head.. Perfect picture in my head, thank you

Daughter loved this book

It's a freallly good book

My heart is so full after reading this book. I love the first book so much, and reading the sequel made me realise just how much I love these characters. The second chance romance trope was written so well and I can gladly say that I’m now a fan of the trope (and any other trope) if it’s written by @lynnpainterbooks . Wes and Liz are perfect the way they are, but together, they are magic✨ This book takes place two years after their breakup, and I love that we got to read it from both the MC’s povs. We get to see how Wes yearns for Liz’s affection and how Liz is determined to keep him as far away from her as possible. Circumstances force them to work together, and you can feel the angst and yearning through the pages. This book is so beautiful, and I’m not sure my review will ever be enough to describe my love for it(you’ll have to read it to find out💗). It is so different from the first book and, we see how the characters have grown and matured, yet somehow they’re still the same Wes and Liz that we loved in the first book. I’d definitely recommend reading this if you loved the first book as much as I do💜

Die Fortsetzung hat mich genauso begeistert wie Band 1. Charmante Figuren, viel Humor und romantische Momente – perfekt für alle, die leichte, unterhaltsame Romance mögen. Ich konnte das Buch kaum aus der Hand legen!

A mí hija le encantó el primero y ahora se está leyendo este
