Waiting for Tom Hanks / Kerry Winfrey. First edition. New York : Jove, 2019. viii, 274 pages ; 21 cm. Includes excerpt from the author's forthcoming book: Not like the movies (pages 263-274). "Romantic-comedy-obsessed Annie Cassidy dreams of being the next Nora Ephron. She spends her days writing internet content, 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 annoying, 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? Drew may not be what she imagined, but Annie soon learns that real life doesn't always go according to script"-- 20200313. Hanks, Tom Fiction. Women writers Fiction. Romantic comedy films Fiction.
