PRAISE FOR

WAITING FOR TOM HANKS

“A love letter to rom-coms in the form of a sweet love story.”

—NPR

“Kerry Winfrey offers readers a fizzy rom-com with all the humor, heart, and the undercurrent of melancholy of the Nora Ephron rom-coms she pays tribute to within its pages.”

—Entertainment Weekly

“Kerry Winfrey’s feel-good romance is an ideal ode to the genre.”

—Oprah.com

“An endearing, klutzy heroine elevates this utterly charming romance [and] the plot’s many moving pieces add complexity. Chloe, lovable Uncle Don, and the local coffee shop’s colorful characters provide humor and heart in just the right places.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“What a total delight it was to read this book! A compelling, heartwarming, hilarious rom-com. I couldn’t stop turning the pages!”

—New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster

“Winfrey’s sweet, hilarious novel is full of klutzy and charming characters, heartwarming moments, and laugh-out-loud one-liners. This quick read is sure to delight readers looking for an escape of everyday life, especially fans of Mary Ann Marlow and Helena Hunting.”

—Booklist

“This sweet story is a warm, favorite-sweater-wearing hug for anyone who believes that true love doesn’t only happen in the movies.”

—kc dyer, author of Finding Fraser

“The perfect blend of humor and romance. . . . Waiting for Tom Hanks is a romantic comedy full of heart, humor, and a delicious dose of reality.”

—Wandereader

“Just try to resist falling in love with this guy, who turns out to be fully Hanks-ian. The deluge of rom-com trivia on Annie’s path to happiness will send you on a Netflix spree, and there’s a great indie music playlist and jokes for D&D enthusiasts sprinkled along the way as well.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“If you’re on the hunt for the perfect, feel-good summer read, you can call off the search party—Waiting for Tom Hanks is all that and more.”

—BookBub

“If you love everything about Tom Hanks, you gotta get Waiting for Tom Hanks.”

—Frolic
