It Only Happens in the Movies

Product Information

Audrey is a drama-loving, caring girl who takes up a job at the local cinema to escape from her life at home as her mother struggles to cope with her own relationship with Audrey’s father. I remember the mother in this story was a bit of a mess, but you can 100% see where it comes from and how poor her mental health is. There’s no denying my love for Holly Bournes writing style, it’s incredibly easy and comfortable to read. Romeo + Juliet is amazing - 90s Leo will always be my favourite - and When Harry Met Sally is just a classical. In the movies this always works … in It Only Happens in the Movies, it also works, just not quite in the way Harry expects.

However it must be on one certain area of the media so not to conflict with the exam and also not to run your teacher too thin as they need to teach theories that can be applied to everyone’s project and talk everyone through how to make the digital pieces to go alongside their essays (we did DVD covers and posters). For the first half of the book Audrey completely disregards all of her female friendships, and only likes people who are mean to other people. I shan’t talk about the ending, because I don’t want to spoil it, but it was a very satisfying conclusion to an excellent book.Seemingly ‘normal’, Evie enters the tricky world of friendship and relationships, and the story slowly unravels to follow this character on a downward spiral as she relapses, but the ending is amazing because her friends stick by her and the SPINSTER CLUB is born! Now I can hold my hands up and say I'm a sucker for romantic films and I mean who wouldn't want what is thrown in front of us with all the declarations of love right?

The way characters in this book deal with it are SO well done, not only boyfriends but friends offering support. But in this funny, insightful, and ultimately empowering novel, love—and life—isn’t what it’s like in the movies.I remember something about literal sparks at a kind of gross concert venue but it’s been years so I won’t pretend I’m certain on it. I also want to acknowledge how Audrey yells about how she’s DAMAGED and emotionally traumatised and not CUTE. I don't tend to like these types of characters, but for some reason it was hard to dislike him as a character.

Harry isn’t Mr Darcey, he’s more rough around the edges but that doesn’t mean you don’t fall for him. I went on a plane for the first time to Lanzarote, went to the Royal Albert Hall for the first time, got my first tattoo (a bookish design), passed fourth year and read so many great books!Bourne acknowledges the complicated realities of being a teenage girl on the cusp of adulthood, portrays all the stresses and obligations a young adult must weigh even as she tries to figure out her feelings about friends and lovers. With all these stresses and complications, it’s no wonder Audrey looks at the canon of romantic comedies and finds her life wanting. Sharp, honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Holly Bourne's radiant novel offers a welcome twist on a regular YA romance.
