Bookseller recommendation

“I did the audio version of this book and I loved it as much as Better Than the Movies. The forced separation trope did not seemed contrived. It was so believable it was real life, really. I'm still that huge Lynn Painter fan, and her newest, Accidentally Amy, is fabulous!!”

Bookseller recommendation

“Great mix of humor and heart! The narrators are fantastic, and I found myself smiling a lot while listening. 💕”

Summary
About the author

#1 New York Times Bestseller

In this highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling Better than the Movies, Wes and Liz struggle to balance their feelings for each other with the growing pains of being a college student.

For a few beautiful months, Wes had his dream girl: strong-willed girl-next-door Liz. But right as the two were about to set off to UCLA to start their freshman year together, tragedy struck. Wes was left dealing with the fallout, which ultimately meant losing Liz in the process.

Flash forward months and months later and Wes and Liz find themselves in college, together. In a healthier place now, Wes knows he broke Liz’s heart when he ended things, but he is determined to make her fall back in love with him.

Wes knows Liz better than anyone, and he has a foolproof plan to win her back with the rom-com worthy big gestures she loves. Only…Liz will have none of it. Wes has to scheme like a rom-com hero to figure out how to see her. Even worse, Liz has a new friend…a guy friend.

Still, Wes won’t give up, adapting his clever plans and going hard to get Liz’s attention and win back her affection. But after his best efforts get him nowhere, Wes is left wondering if their relationship is really over for good.
