![]() ![]() This book shines a light on how realistic rom-coms are, and that is one of the many reasons I’ve fallen in love with it. This isn’t your stereotypical romantic comedy. But all that mushy stuff really does happen in the movies. ![]() He’s an impulsive and flirts without even trying, and it gets to Audrey eventually, much to her resistance. When Audrey starts working at Flicker, the local cinema, she meets her coworker, Harry, who is your typical embodiment of what you expect from the love interest in a rom-com. ![]() Of course, there has to be someone out there who manages to change her mind about how she feels, and he comes in the shape of Harry. Her parents have divorced, she has recently gone through a break up with a toxic ex, and her friendship dynamics seem to be shifting from what they usually are. She has absolutely no reason in her life to romanticize what you see in your tyical rom-coms. It Only Happens in the Movies follows Audrey, named after Audrey Hepburn, who is over romance. I don’t know where Holly Bourne has been all of my life, but I am so glad that I finally decided to read It Only Happens in the Movies after having the book on my shelf for so long. Once I actually got into it on maybe the third day of reading, I sat and read just shy of 300 pages in one sitting, which is not at all like me these days. I think that it’s safe to say that I haven’t had an experience with a book like I have with this one in so long. ![]()
