I really love a good drama. Is it a guilty pleasure? Maybe, but I definitely don’t feel guilty about it so it shouldn’t be classified as such.
Shows like Gossip Girl and Dynasty always hook me in. Rich people and their intricate problems! But they’re just like everyone else, right?
I’m a fan of The Thousandth Floor, so when I heard Katharine McGee was coming out with this, I knew I had to read it.

Let’s take a moment to be real: who doesn’t love Tom Hanks? Even if you’re not one for romcoms like You’ve Got Mail, how about movies like Saving Private Ryan, Turner & Hooch, Castaway, or my personal favorite, Toy Story?
Even though his name is mentioned probably 100 times, Tom Hanks is not actually in this book. Basically, Tom Hanks is the metaphor for the perfect partner in a romantic comedy.
