Lynn Painter : The Rom-Com Collection Box Set

Lynn Painter: The Rom-Com Collection Box Set brings together four young adult romantic comedies by Lynn Painter: Better Than the Movies, Nothing Like the Movies, Betting on You, and The Do-Over.

About This Book

In Better Than the Movies, movie-loving Liz teams up with her childhood neighbour Wes in an attempt to win over her longtime crush. Her plans take an unexpected direction as her relationship with Wes develops and she begins to reconsider what real-life romance can look like.

Nothing Like the Movies returns to Liz and Wes after heartbreak has separated them. Wes tries a series of grand romantic gestures as he seeks another chance with Liz, placing their past relationship and the possibility of reconciliation at the heart of the story.

Betting on You follows former rivals Bailey and Charlie as working together leads to playful bets, fake dating, banter, and an unexpected change in their relationship.
