[aubrey౨ৎ₊˚⊹]

“my little libby” 💗

where do I find my wes bennett?

[Preeti]

Great. Now give me the whole book(bttm) in wessy's pov. 😌🫴🏻

Ps- its a joke (maybe?)

[Fairuz ᥫ᭡.]

WES BENNETT POV??? YES PLEASE.
This little novella was EVERYTHING—pure serotonin in book form. The way Wes sees Liz?? I MELTED. Screaming, crying, smiling like an idiot the whole time. It’s short, but it HITS. The banter, the feelings, the kiss—chef's kiss perfection. I swear I need the WHOLE book rewritten from his POV, like YESTERDAY. Wes is the blueprint, the gold standard, the dream. Lynn Painter, you absolute genius, how dare you give us just a taste?? I need a full-course meal of Wes thoughts and Wes love. 5 stars, no questions, no notes, just MORE WES PLEASE. 😭💗🫶🏼📚💫

“It felt like time stopped, like the world was on pause, and I could hear nothing but the hammering of my heartbeat in my ears as I watched for that signal.
Give me that green flag, honey.”

“and even though it was dark, I knew her cheeks were the prettiest shade of pink at that moment.”

“I love you so much, Elizabeth Buxbaum.”

“my heart was in my throat as I watched her looking down at the shoes I'd bought her like she was devastated they were dirty.
Honey, I would shower you with bouquets of spotless Converse if you'd let me.”

“You look best when you're you."

“The list of things I'd give up to kiss her at that moment was never-ending, yet consisted of only one word
Everyfuckingthing.”

“The entire world stopped and my heart did explode.”

“My Libby.”

“I kissed her like an animal, like a beast whose survival was solely contingent upon getting as much as possible out of one kiss. Like her mouth was essential to the continuation of my existence.”

“I could fucking die now and it would be fine.”

“Nothing has ever been this perfect.”

“On my deathbed, the Liz montage that would go through my head before I died would begin with this image, I swear to God.”

“I will never be done with you, Lib.”

“but I wished I'd had the chance to say goodbye.
Beg her to kiss me again.
Pledge my undying love.”

“I started laughing, hard, ignoring my dad as he muttered something and went inside, because Liz ran through a fucking monsoon to yell "thank you."
To me.
She stood in the driving rain.
For me.
"Hold up, honey," I said under my breath as I took off running after her, grinning as the downpour pelted the shit out of me.”

“Nothing has ever been this perfect.”

​ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Jealous Wes is my favorite type of Wes, followed by pining Wes, and then smitten and obsessed Wes.. heck, give me all of them! 👛 Who's to say that there is Nothing Better Than You, Wes, when you're the real deal of everything a girl could ask for?​ 😌

​ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Soft and silly and short, but still heart-melting fluff of the pinnacle moment of their relationship, where we get to sweeten the deal by getting a brief glimpse of Wes' heart.​ 🥹 Once again never beating the allegations that Libby had his heart long before she realized hers already belonged to him. Order is restored when it is just the two - exactly how he likes it - and nothing screams sentimental than a confession in the rain - even if it's them sitting soaked in the car, waiting for ​car assistance.​ 🩷🤍

“Honey, I would shower you with bouquets of spotless Converse if you'd let me.”

​ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ I'll never tire of Wes' pov; he's hilarious when he's mad, it's cute! 🥰​ Cuter when he's so in awe of his precious Liz that he can't see anything beyond the perfection she is. As much as I would love for Ms. Lynn to re-release the entire book with Wes' perspective, I'm glad we're getting a few glimpses of selective but noteworthy scenes between the two, reminding me always why their chemistry won me over.​ 🌟

​ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ And phew, seeing, nay, feeling their kiss through his eyes and touch - the way he devoured My Libby - 'like her mouth was essential to the continuation of my existence.'​ ❤️‍🔥



Some girls get to have all the fun. 😳🫠

I love Liz and Wes, but there were at least five swear words on every page and I felt like that ruined the book. It was also really short but I still love every bit of Liz and Wes content I can get.
