About this listen
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?

“An endearing, klutzy heroine elevates this utterly charming romance [and] the plot’s many moving pieces add complexity. Chloe, lovable Uncle Don, and the local coffee shop’s colorful characters provide humor and heart in just the right places.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Winfrey's sweet, hilarious novel is full of klutzy and charming characters, heartwarming moments,and laugh-out-loud one-liners. This quick read is sure to delight readers looking for an escape of everydaylife, especially fans of Mary Ann Marlow and Helena Hunting.”—Booklist
“Just try to resist falling in love with this guy, who turns out to be fully Hanks-ian. The deluge of rom-com trivia on Annie's path to happiness will send you on a Netflix spree, and there's a great indie music playlist and jokes for D&D enthusiasts sprinkled along the way as well. Calling all girls and women downtrodden by life and love—happiness awaits!”—Kirkus Reviews

Terrible and Lame
I can usually slog through most bad books just to pass the time but it was impossible with this one. Terrible on so many levels - making me angry while driving!

Hard to listen to at points.
The main character is almost mature to listen too. Shes 27 but asks like a young teen. jumps to conclusions, judges, and is unkind to the male lead.
