Waiting for Tom Hanks
by Kerry Winfrey
Full review at wildandwonderfulreads.com
Waiting for Tom Hanks hit me with all the ’90s nostalgia! I’m pretty sure that Annie and I were BFFs in another life!
Coming from someone who, much like our leading lady, is obsessed with romantic comedies, this book is an utter delight. I smiled, I laughed, I was thrown back to when I thought men were actually like the guys in these movies/books (LOL #sorrynotsorry)…Waiting for Tom Hanks was my cup of tea!
This story is quirky, adorable, and sweet! To be honest, I think there is a rom com overload in the beginning that makes the heroine a smidge annoying. I mean, we have a rom com-loving main character who references her fave rom coms A LOT and happens to be writing her own rom com AND gets a job on the set of the rom com filming in her town…while waiting for her own, real-life “Tom Hanks,” just like in the rom coms of old *cue brain explosion* However, things level out as the story goes on, and I fell in love with this book.
Despite my aforementioned feelings and her flaws, Annie really is a delight. Her counterpart, Drew, shined, though. Their first encounter had me laughing out loud, and their banter is a lot of fun! They are surrounded by an amazing cast of secondary characters that I enjoyed just as much as the leads.
Overall, I enjoyed Waiting for Tom Hanks, and I think fellow rom com fanatics will appreciate this one! I CANNOT WAIT to see what Kerry has in store for us next.
*Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of this book. Please note that it, in no way, had an effect on my opinion or review.
