*4.5

Despite all the hardships in her life, Chloe Sanderson is an eternal optimist. She faces all obstacles thrown her way-- her father's Alzheimer's, finishing her college degree, helping plan her best friend Annie's wedding-- with a smile on her face and baked goods in her hand. She has no time for a relationship, and especially no time for Annie's upcoming rom-com movie inspired by Chloe and her boss, the grumpy (yet oh so handsome) Nick Velez. As the movie premiere looms closer, Chloe finds herself unable to stop thinking about Nick and, how unlike everyone else in her life, he's never let her down. Chloe's convinced a happily ever after could never happen in real life... but what if she's wrong?

I liked Waiting for Tom Hanks, but I loved this one. I really enjoyed Chloe and admired her outlook on life, and how she always tried to remain positive when everything was falling to crap. I will say, she did annoy me at times when she refused to let anyone help her, but that was my only small gripe. She and Nick have such a fun flirty banter which I loved. And Nick! I have such a soft spot for guys who have that grumpy-old-man-with-a-heart-of-gold thing, so I was all for him from the very start. He was so caring and kind towards Chloe and it was so sweet. If you're a fan of those will-they-won't-they type relationship tropes, I definitely recommend.
