Waiting for Tom Hanks

By Kerry Winfrey

Book Overview

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?

Customer Reviews

Super cute, fun read

If you are a hopeless romantic, love Rom-Coms, and especially Tom Hanks - you will enjoy this cute story!

Rom Com Romance

I enjoyed this much the same way that I like rom com movies. It's not meant to be deep. It's meant to be feel good, maybe this totally improbable thing is possible, fun and I think it delivered on that. I liked it enough to order the follow-up book and I'm reading the next Kerry Winfrey book right now.

It was okay

It’s something you could read in a day. If you cared enough to read it.
