If you like SHE LOOKS SO PERFECT then you should read BETTER THAN THE MOVIES by Lynn Painter

I got your name tattooed in an arrowed heart
And I know now that I’m so down
If you like GOOD GIRLS then try PERFECT CHEMISTRY by Simone Elkeles

If you like EASIER then read CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS by Sally Rooney
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

It’s like we’re looking for the same thing
If you liked 18 then you should read THE PRINCESS DIARIES (series) by Meg Cabot

I’m not old enough for her
I’m just waiting ’til I’m eighteen

Swallow every single lie
Take all of me
I’ll never give you away
If you like HEARTACHE ON THE BIG SCREEN then you should read THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY by Jenny Han
This ain’t a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell, “Cut”, we’re stuck inside this scene

The clock is ticking, and I’m outta time
The camera’s rolling, and I forgot my line
My script is ripped, and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen
If you liked EVERYTHING I DIDN’T SAY then you should read YOU AND ME ON VACATION by Emily Henry

And I chase it down, with a shot of truth
Dancing through our house with the ghost of you
