I really liked the wayt they got to know each other and Audrey pushed most of his boundaries and made Harry really work for a relationship for once in his life. He is also a great director and is putting together a zombie bride film that he talks Audrey into being a part of. But he is also brilliant in a lot of ways and sometimes is so clued into Audrey it is amazing. He drinks too much, smokes too much and gets a little too high. He is flirty, fun and has been a little bit of a man whore in his youth. Harry has T R O U B L E written all over him. It is a lot for Audrey, who loves her mom but has no idea how to even deal with her own feelings of betrayal her dad left her with, when he up and left and made a new family with someone else. She is drinking too much and struggling mentally with highs and lows.
After the divorce of her parents, her mom is just not doing well. “You know what I mean, I think they’re dangerous for, like, society.”Īudrey is in her last year at school and she has pretty much withdrawn from most of her friends, her first experience with sex was not good, her home life is a mess and for an escape she started working at the local movie theater. “Dangerous? Like antibiotic resistance? And…umm… SHARKS?” “I just think they’re dangerous, that’s all.” It Only Happens in the Movies is a standalone novel which pokes a little bit of fun at all of those tropes and really tackles some of the more serious issues that can come up in relationships. They all follow a pattern of sorts and most of us know that pattern like the back of our hand. I’ve read a lot of romances and usually there is that area where you have to suspend your disbelief for the story to work. It features pain and confusion and hope and wonder and a ban on cheesy clichés. The greatest love story ever told doesn't feature kissing in the snow or racing to airports. Nobody expects Audrey and Harry to fall in love as hard and fast as they do. But there she meets wannabe film-maker Harry. Since her parents' relationship imploded her mother's been catatonic, so she takes a cinema job to get out of the house.
