Lynn Painter has written a number of novels that stand apart from her two main series, Better Than the Movies and Mr. Wrong Number, while sharing the same comedic, banter-driven tone. These range from teen romances grounded in school settings to adult rom-coms with slightly more complicated setups.
Betting on You, published in 2023, became a New York Times bestseller and follows seventeen-year-old Bailey, who starts a hotel waterpark job only to find herself at the center of a bet involving a boy she met on a flight the previous year. The comedic premise runs alongside a more emotionally layered story about her parents’ divorce and adjusting to a new home.
Her standalone novels maintain the same voice that made her series work popular on BookTok: sharp dialogue, likeable protagonists who are slightly in over their heads, and romantic tension that builds through misunderstandings and reluctant proximity.
