Goodreads Synopsis

What happens when your life is a rom-com...but you don't even believe in true love?

Chloe Sanderson is an optimist, and not because her life is easy. As the sole caregiver for her father, who has early onset Alzheimer's, she's pretty much responsible for everything. She has no time—or interest—in getting swept up in some dazzling romance. Not like her best friend Annie, who literally wrote a rom-com that's about to premiere in theaters across America...and happens to be inspired by Chloe and Nick Velez, Chloe's cute but no-nonsense boss.

As the buzz for the movie grows, Chloe reads one too many listicles about why Nick is the perfect man, and now she can't see him as anything but Reason #2: The Scruffy-Bearded Hunk Who's Always There When You Need Him. But unlike the romance Annie has written for them, Chloe isn't so sure her own story will end in a Happily Ever After. 

Review

If you love rom-com movies, and you loved "Waiting for Tom Hanks," than you will LOVE "Not like the Movies!" After getting to know the characters in "Waiting for Tom Hanks" I love that their story continues in "Not like the Movies." 

I enjoyed getting to know Chloe and Nick better in this book - having their characters filled out. I really ate this book up! It's such an easy read, and I ended up reading it in a day! It's just such a cute, sweet book! I hope these stories continue, because I just love them!
