"If you think life is better than fiction, then you haven’t read Alexa Martin’s fiction. Inheriting a bookstore is often a bibliophile’s dream. But in this story, it’s not. Drew Young doesn’t read books and wants to be a photographer but feels obligated to carry on her grandma’s legacy. When a meddling book club invites romance author Jasper Williams to the store for an event, she not only develops feelings but becomes his tour guide for book research. After all, if a soft hero who makes a career out of happy endings wants to sweep you off your feet, who can resist? Even at its most tender and aching moments, Better Than Fiction is charming and honey-sweet to its core. We watch Drew reckon with the choices of putting herself first and keeping her grandma’s dreams alive, and we fall for the community around her that encourages her to pursue happiness in whatever form that is."
