"Romantic-comedy-obsessed Annie Cassidy dreams of being the next Nora Ephron. She spends her days writing internet content, 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 annoying, 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? Drew may not be what she imagined, but Annie soon learns that real life doesn't always go according to script"-- Provided by publisher.

silly submitted by johnbiancke on August 13, 2019, 7:35pm silly romanic comedy

fun enough, but wildly predictable. submitted by AGAPHD on June 15, 2020, 9:43pm this was fun enough, but anyone familiar with rom-coms could see where it was going. the main character's behavior often made no sense and her "quirks" weren't as charming as they were made out to be.

Totally predictable submitted by snabbleon on August 27, 2020, 3:06pm Cute but totally predictable. I read the first three chapters, skipped to the middle of the book and then returned it. Not interesting enough to read everything in between.

HOUSEBOATS! submitted by qbqrat on June 10, 2022, 11:51pm The main character was annoying. She was obsessed with romantic comedies to the point of not developing a personality of her own.

Decent, but there's better out there submitted by racheljohnson on June 17, 2022, 9:17pm This book was fine, but it didn't blow me away.
