Smoke Signals

 Lynn Painter’s novel Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter is a perfect light-hearted romantic comedy. 

This book is about a highschool senior, Liz Buxbaum. She is a hopeless romantic, just like her mother that had recently passed away.

Liz has had a crush on her childhood friend (Michael), and when he comes into town again things get difficult for her. She grows torn between Michael and her “Enemy” and “Wingman” (Wes Bennett). The tropes in this book make everything flow so beautifully together to have a great heartwarming turn out. 

This book suits any young readers who like romance, comedy, and fun.
