I actually don’t dislike Holly Bourne, she is, in fact, an incredible writer who has written one of the best books I’ve read this year. It’s just like the movies isn’t it? *end scene* Except it isn’t And I now don’t like Holly Bourne because she’s mean and I want a sequel. He’s funny, he’s charming, he flirts with anything that moves, and he helps Audrey put to bed her first disastrous relationship. But when she meets Harry at the cinema, it seems like he could be the answer to all her problems. Audrey is the most cynical girl around after her dad leaves her mum for a shiny new family. OK, I may be being a tiny bit dramatic, but I started reading It Only Happens In The Movies because I was expecting a wonderful, cinematic romance. Oh, and zombies… YA star Holly Bourne tackles real love in this hugely funny and poignant novel. It features pain and confusion and hope and wonder and a ban on cheesy clichés. The greatest love story ever told doesn’t feature kissing in the snow or racing to airports. Nobody expects Audrey and Harry to fall in love as hard and fast as they do. But there she meets wannabe film-maker Harry.


Since her parents’ relationship imploded her mother’s been catatonic, so she takes a cinema job to get out of the house. It Only Happens In The Movies by Holly BourneĪudrey is over romance.
