About the Book

Liz Buxbaum has always known exactly how her prom night should go. It’s a vision she has curated for years, featuring the perfect dress, the perfect music, and most importantly, the perfect date. That date, in her mind, is Michael, a childhood crush who has recently moved back to town. He is the missing puzzle piece to her high school fairy tale.

But there is a problem. Michael doesn't seem to see Liz as prom queen material. He sees her as "Little Liz," the girl he knew years ago. Liz needs a way to get on his radar, and fast. Enter Wes Bennett.

Wes is the boy next door, quite literally. He is also, according to Liz, a giant pain. They have spent most of their lives engaging in a passive-aggressive war over parking spots, loud music, and general neighborhood grievances. Wes is the last person Liz wants to ask for help, but he happens to be friends with Michael. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

The plan is simple: Liz and Wes will fake date. It’s a classic setup designed to make Michael jealous and finally secure Liz her dream prom invitation. But as anyone who has read a romance novel—or downloaded the Better than the Prom PDF—knows, even the best-laid plans can go awry.

As they spend time together plotting and pretending, Liz starts to realize that her annoying neighbor might not be as terrible as she thought. Wes is funny, surprisingly thoughtful, and he listens to her. The lines between fake dating and real feelings begin to blur. Liz finds herself wondering if the prom she always imagined is really what she wants, or if reality might just be better than her dreams.

This novel captures the chaotic, embarrassing, and electric energy of senior year. It explores themes of grief, friendship, and the fear of the future. Lynn Painter masterfully balances the humor of the "fake dating" trope with genuine emotional depth. It is a story about letting go of perfect expectations and embracing the messy, wonderful reality standing right in front of you.

If you are looking for a story that feels like a warm hug and a burst of laughter, you need to read this. Whether you grab the ePub for your e-reader or the Better than the Prom PDF for your phone, you are in for a treat. It is the kind of book you finish in one sitting because you simply cannot leave Liz and Wes behind.
