I absolutely LOVE a Holly Bourne book and I’m not sure how it took me so long to read It Only Happens in the Movies. What I do know is this: I flipping loved this book! This book had my feminist heart beating quiet contentedly. I loved everything about this book from its insights into romantic movies (are they actually romantic??), to love and sexual relationships and complex family dynamics. Throw in a good old dollop of zombie movie making and this book really was a blast!

That being said, this book was also quite an emotional read. I really did feel for Audrey at points during this book and I was absolutely, wholeheartedly rooting for her throughout the whole thing. Audrey is one of those characters I found myself immediately liking: she is pretty sassy and doesn’t take any stick, at least on the outside, inside she is a squishy, emotional little doll. I loved her journey throughout this and although I was concerned at one point on how this was going to go, I was delighted with the ending!
