Evie has wanted to be a film agent, but she’s been stuck as an assistant for seven years. And now her agency is in crisis—if their star client, Academy Award-winning screenwriter Ezra Chester, doesn’t deliver his rom-com script to the producers soon, they’ll lose a ton of money and have to shut down.
Ezra agrees to finally start writing, but there’s a catch: Evie must show him it’s possible to meet and fall in love with someone just like it happens in the movies. So even though she’s not actually trying to fall in love, she starts planning meet-cutes. Spilling a drink on someone? Check. Pretending to be a damsel in distress in the middle of a crowded street? Done. Planning to share a ride with someone she doesn’t know? Okay.
Evie sends Ezra “reports” of all of her meet-cutes but he doesn’t seem to be keeping his end of the deal, which causes both her and her boss to become more frantic. And it’s not easy that Evie’s continued humiliations are often witnessed by Ben and Annette, the friendly father-daughter duo who are both horrified and amused by what she’s doing. (One is horrified, one is amused.)
So can love happen like it does on film? Will Ezra get the script done on time? Will Evie get to be an agent after all? Would Like to Meet was a cute, sometimes-zany, and sweet rom-com that had been sitting on my stack for a long while. It definitely was a fun read!
