Book of Interest: Waiting for Tom Hanks

Imagine loving romantic comedies so much that it has shaped (or perhaps skewed) your view on romance. Which is why I want to read Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey as the story follow Annie Cassidy looking for her dream man who has the qualities of Tom Hank's beloved characters. It will be interesting to see if her approach to romance will change or will she be so set on finding her version of a Tom Hank's character.


Book: Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey

Description:

A rom-com-obsessed romantic waiting for her perfect leading man learns that life doesn’t always go according to a script in this delightfully charming and funny novel.

Annie Cassidy dreams of being the next Nora Ephron. She spends her days writing screenplays, rewatching Sleepless in Seattle, and waiting for her movie-perfect meet-cute. If she could just find her own Tom Hanks—a man who’s sweet, sensitive, and possibly owns a houseboat—her problems would disappear and her life would be perfect. But Tom Hanks is nowhere in sight.

When a movie starts filming in her neighborhood and Annie gets a job on set, it seems like a sign. Then Annie meets the lead actor, Drew Danforth, a cocky prankster who couldn’t be less like Tom Hanks if he tried. Their meet-cute is more of a meet-fail, but soon Annie finds herself sharing some classic rom-com moments with Drew. Her Tom Hanks can’t be an actor who’s leaving town in a matter of days...can he?
