Buy It Only Happens in the Movies by Holly Bourne
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.
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.

I haven’t wanted to stay up late to finish a book in a long time, but I did just that with this one! I stayed up until the end and ended up crying a lot.

The corner of the front cover was creased, cracked and almost broken off.

I’m giving this book a 5-star rating because when I woke up this morning, it was the first thing on my mind! I really love it!
