A rom-com-obsessed romantic waiting for her perfect main character learns that existence doesn’t always move according to a script within this delightfully enchanting 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 simply find her personal Tom Hanks—a man who’s sweet, delicate, and possibly has a houseboat—her problems would vanish and her lifestyle would be ideal. But Tom Hanks is certainly nowhere around the corner.

When a movie begins filming in her neighborhood and Annie gets employment on set, it looks like a sign. After that Annie meets the lead professional, Drew Danforth, a cocky prankster who couldn’t become much less like Tom Hanks if he tried. Their meet-cute is normally more of the meet-fail, but shortly Annie discovers herself posting some classic rom-com occasions with Drew. Her Tom Hanks can’t become an professional who’s leaving city in just a matter of days…may he?
