Description
From award-winning author Holly Bourne comes a clever, deconstructed rom-com that proves that in real life “girl meets boy” doesn't always mean “happily ever after” . . . or does it? At turns funny, feminist, and achingly real, this read is perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Patrick Ness, and Julie Buxbaum. Audrey is over romance. While dealing with her parents’ contentious divorce, a breakup of her own, and shifting friendship dynamics, she has every reason to feel cynical. But then she meets Harry, her fellow coworker at the local cinema. He’s brash, impulsive, and a major flirt. And even though Audrey tries to resist, she finds herself falling for his charms. But in this funny, insightful, and ultimately empowering novel, love—and life—isn’t what it’s like in the movies.

It was a DISASTER.Okay, perhaps that is taking things too far. I couldn't make myself get into the book. Everything was so predictable, except the last two or three pages. Messed up FL meets another fucked up ML; gave ML a chance in hopes of 'being the one' who fixed ML. Had I read this book during high school, I might have loved it, but for now, It Only Happens in the Movies barely hit the TOTALLY-MISS mark. Two stars for the cover art and being an easy read.
