I was really shipping Wessy and Libby so the minor flaws doesn't really affect me. She seems more like a good friend than a mom. She's such a cool and chill person, yet she was treated so unfairly for something she can't even change.

The rom-com references also fit in very nicely, although i never seen/read any of them. I love the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. When they were stargazing and eating s’mores in his backyard, OMG IT WAS SO CUTE! Some girl who's been unlucky all her life turns out to be not so unlucky after all… *continues to daydream* I know it'll never happen to me, but the story actually sounds realistic. She could be a little slow and oblivious sometimes (especially when it comes to her love life…) She might seem a bit 'not like the other girls', but that's part of who she is and I like her for it. But I guess when the supposed 'love of your life' is standing in front of you, it's hard to always act rationally. Sometimes I don't understand how Liz thinks because I can't connect with her. Maybe change it up each time or just say something like 'why not'. That phrase can get annoying after a while. Unfortunately I think this book just spoiled the entire plot of The Great Gatsby…Īlso, I wish the characters could stop thinking 'what the hell', please. ~the actual soundtrack of Wessy and Libby~Ī rom-com with rom-com references, fake dating and enemies to lovers, all while the MCs are neighbors and childhood friends frienamies?! This was like a dream come true.Ī certain someone didn’t realize why he was calling her Buxbaum until like halfway through the book… and then they realized that’s her last name… totally not me “Enemies-to-lovers-it’s our trope, Buxbaum.' And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love-and rethink her own perception of what Happily Ever After should really look like. He's her in.īut as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz her magical prom moment, she's shocked to discover that she actually likes being around Wes. Meaning that if Liz wants Michael to finally notice her, and hopefully be her prom date, she needs Wes. See, Liz's forever crush, Michael, has just moved back to town, and-horribly, annoyingly-he's hitting it off with Wes. It's Liz's senior year, a time meant to be rife with milestones perfect for any big screen, and she needs Wes's help.

Wes was the kid who put a frog in her Barbie Dreamhouse, the monster who hid a lawn gnome's severed head in her little homemade neighborhood book exchange.įlash forward ten years from the Great Gnome Decapitation. You would think that her next-door neighbor would be a prince candidate for her romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only proven himself to be a pain in the butt, ever since they were little. Liz Buxbaum has always known that Wes Bennett was not boyfriend material.

Better than the movies lynn
