When the book finally arrived on my doorstep I started reading and couldn’t put it down.I have never related to a character as much as I relate to Audrey Winters. I could completely understand everything the Audrey did through the book. All of her actions made sense to me because this book shows an accurate depiction of love, rather than the one we’re shown in dramatic romantic films. Audrey isn’t a straight forward character and this isn’t a straight forward romance novel. Audrey struggles with romance, she’s never too sure if her feelings and can’t easily read signs of romance.Audrey’s romantic interest Harry is much the same, he’s far from perfect. Harry is your typical boy, the one you know in real life who’s a bit of a flirt and a player. Harry isn’t Mr Darcey, he’s more rough around the edges but that doesn’t mean you don’t fall for him. He’s got that charm about him, I think all girls have come across a Harry at some point.I found myself laughing, crying and cringing for the characters throughout the book. Having worked at a cinema for more than 2 years I found all of the scenes in the cinema hilariously accurate. I can relate to Audrey’s pain of having to deliver a hot dog to an I thankful customer in a screen and the dread of Marvel movie opening weekend.In the end I’m not really sure how I felt. By that I mean when I finished the book I felt a bit of an odd mixture of emotions. I love that this book breaks the stereotypes of traditional romances and I applaud every decision that was made my Audrey in the book, even the final one, but that doesn’t mean that longing for things to have turned out differently.This book is an absolute must read for all young adults. Bourne tackles themes in the book head on a doesn’t skirt around any of the topics she wants to talk about wether that’s the realities of sex or periods. This book will challenge your opinion of love and romance and will have you questioning your enjoyment of any romantic films in the past. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book 💛 *by J***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2022* It Only Happens in the Movies is a good book that's follows Audrey who is struggling with her parents divorce and ends up meeting a boy in a new job that she's gets close to even though she's not one for romance.This is a nice book that is entertaining to read but also has a lot going on with some more serious topics within the book and a common theme of a problematic relationship. I liked when we got to see Audrey and Harry together but at the same time at times their relationship became frustrating to read as they seemed to find more problems and bad times than good.The storyline with Audrey's mum was interesting to read and see how her coping with this was effecting her everyday life and the dramatic ending was quite a surprise. It would have been nice to have got to know more about her family life as she spent so much time escaping it and it's a shame we never really got to know about Harry's family either despite it being mentioned a few times.I mostly liked this book but at times I wasn't sure. A good book that at times was frustrating but at least it was more realistic than some romance films! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Audrey does not care for love. Her parents marriage ended and it left her ... *by K***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2018* Audrey does not care for love. Her parents marriage ended and it left her mother in a weird state so Audrey does not want that to happen to her so she swears off romance. That is until she starts a new job at her local cinema and meets bad boy Harry.If you have ever read any book by Holly Bourne before you will know that her writing style is wickedly funny and super easy to read. I get so lost in her novels and they take me back to my teenage years. Her writing is super truthful at times that it hurts, she talks about sexual assault, the lack of sapphic relationships in movies, racism etc. At one point one of the characters talk about not being able to orgasm through penetration which I think is just something that is super important to include off the cuff in YA. Like it's just spoken about casually but having that being in books lets young girls know that it's a thing and it's ok to be that way.I read this so quickly that I didn't really take any notes and I kind of hate myself for it. 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.I'm not going to talk spoilers but I would love someone who has read this to let me know because I want to talk about the ending and how satisfying it was for me.My only thing with this book was because he was called Harry I could not stop imagining Harry Styles, who is an absolute sweetheart and not a bad boy and it was a bit disconcerting every time I read the name. ## Frequently Bought Together - It Only Happens In The Movies - The Cheat Sheet: A Novel - Better Than the Movies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/47955952-it-only-happens-in-the-movies](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/47955952-it-only-happens-in-the-movies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
