One of my favorite books of 2019 so far. Winfrey did an excellent job paying homage to the rom-com genre. Including plenty of humor, a dreamy romance and a wonderful cast of supporting characters.

This was so adorable! I love that it is full of tropes and cliches but it is self aware. The pop culture references were a fun touch. It was an interesting look at romantic comedies. Loved both the main character and the love interest. Such a sweet book and I can totally see it being made in to a movie!

Full review to come.

This was a cute romance novel with some hidden depths about grief and loss. Great supporting cast! I highly recommend it!

All the characters (Annie and Dean of course, but also Uncle Don,Nick, and everyone else) and were so cute. I thought it was very realistic that Annie had trouble believing Dean would really be interested in her. This was a fun quick read.

This was a cute and fun rom-com! It really gave a good look into popular Nora Ephron movies and how they had affected Annie's life. I liked that she was able to realize that real life can be more than just a rom-com. Loved the characters, can't wait for the follow up book and hope to see more of Drew, Annie, Chloe and Nick in that one.

This was a really fun read. I loved all of the Rom Com movie references and how they fit into the story. Can't wait to read the sequel.

This book can most accurately be described as "a goddamn delight," which is not a thing a publisher can really put on the book jacket, but it's true! As a die-hard rom com fan, I loved all the references to the classic 80s and 90s films. The characters were fun and complex. The book handled the romance with a celebrity fantasy without ever devolving into cliche. I absolutely can't wait to read more Kerry Winfrey rom coms!

Attention Rom-com lovers! You will want to sit up and pay attention to this.

I think it’s fair to say the romantic comedy is coming back. And to that I say, FINALLY! This is a rom-com about rom-coms. Annie Cassidy dreams of becoming the next Nora Ephron, and she’s obsessed with romantic comedy movies. So when she gets the chance to work as an assistant to the director of a new romantic comedy filming in her hometown, she takes it. But she doesn’t expect to cross paths with the cocky star, Drew Danforth, and certainly doesn’t expect him to get under her skin. .

So funny! Such a great voice! So much adorableness! I loved Annie and Drew’s banter, and it gave me the feels of my favorite romantic comedies. It’s pretty clean, so if you’re the type who prefers no sex scenes, rest assured: this is a gentle PG13. .

The ending wasn’t as strong, in my opinion, and felt rushed. Still, this was a fun, light, sweet, romantic story and it left me with a happy smile on my face.

Releases June 11! Thanks @netgalley and @berkleypub for a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I grew up watching Tom Hanks in Splash, Big and loved Sleepless In Seattle & You've got mail. So of course, the title of this book and premise caught my attention.

While I enjoy rom-coms, sadly, this one just didn't work for me.

Thank you Netgalley and Berkley Pub for my copy.

Annie Cassidy is devoted to romantic comedies and is writing one with the hope of having it become a movie. She is constantly comparing men with heroes in her favorite movies. When a movie company comes to town to film a romantic comedy she is ecstatic until she is surprised when she bumps into Drew Danforth, the star of the movie and proceeds to spill coffee on his coat. A delightful and amusing tale even if you have not seen the movies referenced in the story.

I loved how adorable this book is. When Annie meets Drew she thinks there is possibility there but she has so built up in her mind a scenario she wants her romance to follow it takes awhile for her to understand there's more than one way to a romance. I like the banter between Annie and Drew as they get to know each other and how they grow and realize they can change and compromise as they work out how to make a life together. Especially recommended for fans of romantic comedies.

This was a super fun read -- the perfect book for the recent surge of rom-coms, and I think fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory, etc. will find this totally delightful, even if the two main characters don't have quite as much chemistry as I would have wished.

I really loved this charming cast of characters and the idyllic setting. As someone who also loves romantic comedies and Tom Hanks, I could identify with Annie idealism. But I still wanted her to wake up to reality and the awesome opportunities that were right in front of her face. I was heavily invested and would definitely go see any movie about her coffee shop friends.

I was provided an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I am a huge fan of rom comedies and anything with Tom Hanks, so the title of this book is what grabbed me first.
The story was cute, although predictable and lacking any depth at times. It was a fun, quick read when you are looking for a fast book that doesn't require your undivided attention.

I thought this book was really cute. I loved all the movie references, and the characters were also well developed. Overall it was a solid New Adult and I would even say Young Adult novel. It was very tame for this genre. I would defiantly recommend it for teens.

I adore this book ! This was so so much fun to read ! The characters just kept you wanting to read away. I couldnt put it down. A++++

As someone who also has a slightly irrational love for Tom Hanks (for non-rom-com reasons, i.e. David S. Pumpkins and his delightfully strange Instagram - check it out if you don't follow him), I found this book to be utterly charming. It's definitely one of the best books I've read this year simply for its quirky main character, Annie, who I loved, and it's feel-good rom-com-y goodness.

Annie has been waiting her whole life for her Tom Hanks - not actually Tom Hanks since he's happily married, but that perfect trope of a man who's been hurt before but has made it to the other side fully informed and ready to love again. Oh, and he's also cute, charming, and maybe owns an exotic piece of real estate. Drew Danforth is not that person. He's a celebrity, sure, but he's a jokester who doesn't seem to take anything, even his career, seriously. Or is that just a facade? Is he actually Annie's Tom Hanks? Their meet-cute and ensuing banter would say YES in all caps, but Annie needs some convincing.

This book makes you want to snuggle up in your loosest sweatpants, make sure you've got the requisite Ben & Jerry's in arm's reach and re-watch your favorite cliche movie. It's such a comforting feeling. I can feel a re-read of this in my future, just like all the best rom-coms deserve.

I really enjoyed this romcom. I have really been in the mood lately for a light read as I was burned out on thrillers I think. This book was so fun. It definitely had me laughing at parts. I would definitely recommend this book to all the romcom fans who need a light read. Fun and enjoyable!!

A rom com in book form which, in my opinion, does not work nearly as well as in movie format. It was pretty silly and full of misunderstandings, stock characters, contrived back stories, etc. I appreciate what the author was doing in mirroring a rom com and explicitly stating every time something happened that would have happened in a movie differently or what the parallel scene would be (e.g. here's where the music should swell, or here's where I should be running across the airport). I just don't think it was successful. Not terrible, and perhaps big fans of cheesy romantic comedies will enjoy it, it just wasn't for me.

What are the chances that the romcom loving Annie would fall in love with a movie star? I enjoyed this book. I loved the side characters. I think they made Annie and Drew's story stand out and I liked the homage to throw back romcoms I grew up with.
