From award-winning author Holly Bourne comes 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.
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.

Quotes

  • Kejsi bishjahas quoted2 years ago
    “Be careful, Jessie,” I said. “All I can say is, if he did it to Mum, he can do it to you. The years are long. See how much he loves you in ten years’ time, see if he gives you everything he’s promised.”
  • Kejsi bishjahas quoted2 years ago
    “Dad. You can’t. You just…can’t… expect me to accept everything. Jessie. What you’ve done. How you’ve treated Mum. You’ve got to put us first sometimes. We’re still your family!”
  • Kejsi bishjahas quoted2 years ago
    “Your mother and her…drama is not my concern any more.”

    “YOU CAUSED HER FUCKING DRAMA.”
