Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey

4.0

"Maybe this time you need to be your own Tom Hanks."
Annie is kind of stuck. She has a job writing, but instead of writing America's next favorite screenplay, she's the author on online articles about things like hemorrhoids. She is somewhat obsessed with finding her personal Tom Hanks, the quintessential romcom hero of Nora Ephron's movies.
When a studio sets up filming locally, Annie gets an opportunity to dip her toes into the field. And when she becomes "coffee girl" to the handsome star, witty banter with a little bit of hate ensues.
This is a light-hearted romcom. I smiled and laughed multiple times and enjoyed all of the relatable movie references. The secondary characters were fun and added a lot of good context. There are so many good one liners too!
I listened to the audio and the narrator was great. She felt believable and embodied the heroine's personality. Her intonation and inflection felt spot on.
