ⓘ About Lynn Painter
Lynn Painter One of Lynn Painter’s claims to fame is being able to cram a whole cupcake in her open mouth. A dubious skill, for sure, but one she is proud of. She’s quirky, fun, and highly energetic. These traits are an asset in her writing because they color and influence her work and makes it enjoyable for all of us. Better Than the Movies is Ms. Painter’s first offering to those who love the Chick-Lit genre for YA and adults. Liz Buxbaum is your average high school senior. She has girlfriends, boy problems, a dad who really tries but really kinda fails, and her childhood crush has recently moved back to town. Sadly, Liz isn’t average in one very important way. Her mom passed away when she was young. Mom was a rom-com writer; happily-ever-after and hopeless romance is in Liz’s genes. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Better Than the Movies Books series, Lynn Painter has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
