She shows that it’s not always sunshine and rainbows, but work. Bourne describes the love between the characters but also the bickering and nagging that occurs in any relationship. This British novel pokes fun at traditional rom-coms by illustrating the differences between a movie and real life. It doesn’t hurt that this dark-haired bad boy takes an interest in her. Audrey, a lover of acting, jumps at the chance to be the leading lady in Harry’s zombie movie. Her coworker Harry, an aspiring filmmaker, provides a much-needed distraction. Needless to say, she is not in the best state of mind. To make matters worse, Audrey is trying to get over a break-up with her boyfriend, who dumped her right after they slept together for the first time. Her older brother is at university and leaves caring for their mother up to Audrey. Her father has abandoned the family and created a new one with his new wife and their two children. Gr 9 Up–Audrey took the job working in the cinema to escape her mother who is going through a divorce and, to put it mildly, not taking it well.
