I just started this book about Liz Buxbaum, who has always been a hopeless romantic from a young age. Her next-door neighbor, Wes Bennett, has always been her friend. I’m excited to see if they end up falling for each other or if she finds someone else. I really enjoy how the book includes quotes from romantic comedies and songs.
