christygsp's review against another edition
4.0
Hilarious, cute, and chock full of rom com references. It was exactly what I was expecting and hoping for. A cute romance that shines a spotlight on the idea of rom coms being relevant in our real lives, relationships that don’t necessarily fix everything but add to your life, and family/friends who are there for you despite your crazy.
The MC was a little self absorbed and we didn’t see her put other people first, but since it’s her story (and it’s fictional), I gave her a pass.
The third act conflict that appears in every single story felt resolved a little quickly but I’m not too mad at it. I like when conflict is resolved quickly but through mature communication, which I felt was a little lighter on than it could have been.
Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamics between the characters and movie production elements.
Now I have a strong desire to go watch Tom Hanks movies!

This book was definitely a cover buy for me, and sadly the cover is better than the story.
What I liked:
- Annie’s Uncle Don: He was the best character because he was funny and didn’t care what people thought of him.
- The ending: The very ending of the story was cute and romantic.
What I didn’t like:
- Annie: She was such an irritating character. I couldn’t understand her hatred for Drew at the beginning of the story since he was just flirting with her. Also, her obsession with romantic comedies was annoying because she compared EVERYTHING in her relationships to what happens in movies. She was immature and an idiot for what she did to cause the conflict in the story.
- So many clichés!!!: I usually don’t mind a few clichés in books, but everything was so predictable especially the conflict. I almost didn’t finish this book because I knew exactly what was coming.
Unfortunately, I would not recommend reading this book.
