Lynn Painter 3 Book Set Better Than the Movies, The Do-Over and Betting on You

Better Than the Movies

Liz hates her annoyingly attractive neighbour but he’s the only in with her long-term crush…

Perpetual daydreamer and hopeless romantic 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 neighbour 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.

The Do-Over

Emilie has the worst Valentines Day ever—only to relive it over and over again. Perfect riotous romantic YA fiction where 50 First Dates meets Groundhog Day.

After living through a dumpster fire of a Valentines Day, Emilie escapes to her grandmother’s house for some comfort and a consolation pint of Ben & Jerry’s. She passes out on the couch, but when she wakes up, she’s back home in her own bed and it’s Valentines Day all over again. And the next day? Another nightmare V-Day.

Betting on You

When seventeen-year-old Bailey starts a new job at a hotel waterpark, she is less than thrilled to see an old acquaintance is one of her coworkers. They didn’t get off to the best start but this is a new beginning and whilst they are still polar opposites, she starts to look forward to hanging out and gossiping about the waterpark guests and their coworkers particularly two who keep flirting with each other.

Charlie insists that members of the opposite sex can’t just be friends, and Bailey is determined to prove him wrong. So they make a bet on whether or not the cosy pair will actually get together.
