The ultimate teen romcom book about romcom movies. Liz is romcom obsessed to the point she is waiting for her perfect love to occur all while planing the perfect soundtrack. She identifies meet cute moments, relationship tropes and characters in her own life.  She’s literally the character in her own movie. 
But there is a flaw to this book. If Liz was such an expert in these movies, she should have been able to predict every awkward or surprising moment she lived though. Whoops did I just break the matrix?!? 

This was fun, it was adorable and the nostalgia from the quotes from the best romcoms at the start of each chapter was joy sparking.  We aren’t going to see any literary awards but she’s a fun happy book!
