There a ton of rom-coms with rom-com obsessed protagonists and I would strongly urge you to seek those out and pass on this one. The main character is insufferable and awful.

I loved the rom-com references, I loved Drew as a leading man, and I liked the quirky supporting characters. Annie kind of annoyed me at times with her naïveté and tendency to overreact, and the typical tropes (love triangle, conflict, etc.) felt a little forced and underwhelming. Cute overall, and definitely chock full of rom-com. I want more Nick and Chloe content

It's rare to find a book that kind of perfectly captures your sense of humor, but man, this one did it. Kerry Winfrey is definitely one of my new favorite authors.
This book was a lot, a lot, a lot of fun. If you're the kind of person who doesn't like pop-culture references in books, you should pass on this one, because there's a lot. But I think the title kind of gives that away anyway. In any case, Annie and Chloe were hilarious, Drew was really sweet, Uncle Don and the DnD group and Nick and Gary and honestly 99% of the characters in this one were so endearing and had me cackling every time they showed up. It got kind of ridiculous plot-wise at the end, but for being a book all about rom-coms, I feel like that's par for the course. This is definitely a book I'll read again, and an author I'll be reading more of!
