Kerry Winfrey’s Waiting for Tom Hanks duology is a love letter to romantic comedies, set in Columbus, Ohio. The first book follows Annie Cassidy, an aspiring screenwriter who measures every potential romance against her favorite Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan films. When a movie starts filming in her neighborhood and she collides with the cocky lead actor Drew Danforth, her real life starts to look like the scripts she writes.

Not Like the Movies shifts to Annie’s best friend Chloe, who works at a coffee shop while caring for her father. After Annie writes a movie script inspired by Chloe and her boss Nick Velez, Chloe can no longer ignore what everyone else apparently already sees.
