Synopsis: 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 c ould 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 or days. . .can he?
Review: I like light and fluffy sometimes, but this book didn't do it for me. There was no substance, and it was far too cliche. That's exactly why some will love it though.
I didn't like Annie for 3/4 of the novel, and I was more interested in her friend Chloe's "relationship" with her boss Nick. This was a struggle read, and I think it convinced me once and for all that this genre is not for me.
For the genre, this was a 5 star read, I'm sure. For me though, 2 stars, three, if I'm being generous.
