Romantic comedies, aka Rom-Coms, are such fun and endearing movies. They are perfect to watch no matter if you are feeling happy, sad, sick, or just in need of a good laugh. While many consider them to be corny, I love Rom-Coms and grew up watching many of them. In this article I will feature some previews/plot summaries of my favorite Rom-Coms of all time.         I bring you: Lindseys Rom-Com Recs!
