One emotional breakdown away from 5 stars💔
ich finde es schade, dass das ende so knapp gehalten wurde, ich hätte mir noch mehr von den beiden als paar gewünscht
Beautifully written, with a sharp eye for detail. I absolutely loved the conversations between Libby and Wes. They felt very natural yet not boring to me. I laughed a lot and found myself melting more than once. After the slightly exaggerated beginning, where Libby is made to look a bit foolish, the emotions quickly become incredibly well-written and realistic. In the end, it’s a high school romance and honestly, I wouldn’t have minded if the steaminess kept going.
,,Better Than the Movies" ist die perfekte RomCom. Der Schreibstil der Autorin ist witzig und schlagfertig und ich habe die Filmzitate am Anfang jedes Kapitels geliebt. Das Buch beschreibt die ,,klischeehafte" Vorstellung eines High School Lebens und zeigt gleichzeitig, dass nicht alles perfekt sein muss. Ich konnte es nicht mehr aus der Hand legen.
