《Better Than the Movies》是一部青春浪漫喜劇。
Liz那個煩人、又有吸引力的隔壁鄰居Wes,雖看起來似乎是浪漫喜劇幻想的絕佳對象;但Wes從小就喜歡對Liz惡作劇,也因此絕不可能是成為Liz男朋友。
有一天,Liz小時候暗戀的對象Michael搬回鎮上,並與Wes成為好友。這意味著Wes是Liz接近Michael的唯一機會。
但當Liz與Wes策劃如何得到Michael注意的同時,Liz也驚訝地發現自己越來越喜歡和Wes在一起。當他們變得更親近後,Liz不得不重新審視自己對愛情的認識,並思考「幸福快樂的結局」應該是什麼模樣。
Perfect for fans of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, this "sweet and funny" (Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks) teen rom-com follows a hopelessly romantic teen girl and her cute yet obnoxious neighbor as they scheme to get her noticed by her untouchable crush. Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he's back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar--and maybe snag him as a prom date--even befriend 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.
