Movies like You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle are some of my favorite rom-coms so I'm excited for Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey about a girl waiting for a guy like the Tom Hanks (the characters he's played at least, lol) to sweep her off her feet. To celebrate the release I'm sharing an excerpt and giveaway of Waiting for Tom Hanks below.
Publication Date: June 11th 2019 by Berkley
Pages: 320
About the book:
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?
