![]() ![]() This was carried out throughout the whole novel as Audrey decides to do a media project on it, and this even made me think about how subtly messages of unhealthy and controlling relationships are broadcast and romanticised in the media. Family is an integral part in our everyday life so to see the effect that this had on Audrey and her life was a powerful thing to read about.Īll of Holly's books draw on important issues that are often ignored and neglected in the media etc, so it was fantastic to read such a thought-provoking book which addresses the problems and unrealistic expectations that films have. Having Audrey's family as one of the main aspects of the book also made this wonderful story, a slightly different read from other YA books. The main character in this story is Audrey, who has had it with 'love' as she has had a recent break up, and her father has moved out and is raising a new family. This is a romance novel, but I can assure you not sloppy or lovey dovey at all. Holly Bourne just knows how to delve in teenage issues that are normally ignored and keeps the YA reader engrossed with her wonderful, emotional, funny and thought provoking writing. ![]() ![]() Yet again, It Only Happens in the Movies is another awesome book from this author. ![]()
