Better Than the Movies

In this rom-com about rom-coms, in the spirit of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, a hopeless romantic teen attempts to secure a happily-ever-after moment with her forever crush, but finds herself reluctantly drawn to the boy next door.

Liz Buxbaum, rêveuse perpétuelle, a donné son cœur à Michael il y a longtemps. Mais son béguin distant et froid ne l'a jamais vraiment vue avant qu'il ne déménage. Maintenant qu'il est de retour en ville, Liz fera tout ce qu'il faut pour attirer son attention - et peut-être le décrocher comme cavalier pour le bal de promo - même se lier d'amitié avec Wes Bennet.

The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic-comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.

But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love – and rethink her own ideas of what happily ever after should look like.
