Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey


Title: Waiting for Tom Hanks
Author: Kerry Winfrey
Genre: Contemporary Romance

If you are a fan of romantic comedies, this is the book for you! Hopeful romantic Annie Cassidy is waiting for her own Tom Hanks to come and sweep her off her feet. She knows that the road to love will be fraught with impediments, misunderstandings, and montages, but she feels confident that the right man will come along and invite her to join him on his houseboat where they can float off into the sunset.

Small problem(s): she lives in a landlocked area, her social circle is small (consisting primarily of her gamer uncle and her barista bestie), and she's a writer by trade, so that solitary work doesn't exactly throw her in contact with eligible men. All this changes when a rom-com starts filming in her small town and Annie gets a job helping the director. 

Spoiler Alert: If you're still meaning to get around to some of the older rom-com movies, watch them first. Winfrey has no problems dropping plots like they're hot so if you had any doubt as to how the movies end, you won't after reading this book.
