Nothing Like the Movies

When tragedy tears Wes and his dream girl Liz apart right before college, he thinks their story is over—until they both end up at the same university months later and he realizes he's not ready to let her go. Armed with rom-com knowledge and a heart full of determination, Wes launches an elaborate campaign of grand gestures to win her back, convinced that if he just tries hard enough, he can make her fall for him all over again. But Liz isn't interested in playing along, especially not when she's found a new life (and a charming guy friend) that doesn't include him. As Wes's carefully planned schemes keep backfiring, he's forced to confront a harder truth: sometimes love requires more than just persistence and creativity—it requires actually listening to what the other person wants.
