You can't get more meta than a rom-com about the making of a rom-com — but that's what makes this one so fun. In Would Like to Meet by Rachel Winters ($13), Evie is an assistant working at a talent agency that manages an up-and-coming screenwriter contracted to write a rom-com screenplay. The only problem? He doesn't believe in rom-coms. To prove him wrong and help with his writer's block, Evie sets out to reenact the most memorable meet-cutes all across London, inspired by her favourite classic films.
I love how this story uses the tropes and clichés we all know and love from rom-coms and deconstructs them, while still essentially being a rom-com itself. It's warm, funny, and delightfully unexpected.
