When Liz’s childhood crush, Michael, returns to town after seven years, Liz is immediately infatuated again. They currently have an ongoing war over the only available parking spot on their street, and he constantly teases her for her fashion sense and optimistic belief in romance. Before she died, Liz’s mother taught her that the charming “bad boy” is not the man to aim for instead, she should seek a nice, dependable man for her “happily ever after.” Liz believes her hero cannot be Wes Bennet, her annoying next-door neighbor who has tormented her since childhood. The protagonist, Liz Buxbaum, explains in the Prologue that romance movie binge-watching is a tradition she and her late mother shared.
