About the book

Audrey, a seventeen-year-old, has recently been dumped by her boyfriend and decides that real life does not work like the movies she loves. She takes a job at a cinema, where she meets Harry, a colleague who is willing to challenge her ideas. Audrey, who writes a blog about film clichés, begins to question her assumptions about romance as she goes through friendships, family issues and the awkwardness of her own feelings. The novel is humorous, and sets expectations against reality.

For teenage readers and fans of romantic comedy who prefer a sceptical heroine, it offers a funny, self-aware story about love.
