Lavanya Garg asked Lynn Painter:

What gave you the idea for Better Than The Movies and characters like Wes and Liz? Are they based on real people?

Lynn Painter They are not based on real people; I honestly don't remember where they came from. Fever dream, maybe? ;) I really wanted to write a romcom that FELT like a movie romcom, which inspired me to throw in all the tried-and-true cliche tropes.

Thank you SO MUCH for reading!!!!

Better Than The Movies was like so beautiful, that I just can't. I know this question is probably going to be hard to answer, but what is your favorite romance trope, and which books do you think have executed them the best?
