This is a cute book, it's one of those quick to read, easy to jump in to kind of books. Protagonist Gemma is obsessed with Audrey Hepburn, particularly the incarnation of Audrey Hepburn that Holly Golightly represents. It would be fair to say that she is obsessed with Holly Golightly specifically looking at the events that unfold in the novel itself but while the focus is on Breakfast at Tiffany's there is plenty of mention of Audrey herself and her other work (including her humanitarian work).
Gemma has run away from home for the day to meet up with friends she has met over Tumblr who share a love of all things Audrey. It's a fairly predictable book for its type, but that is definitely something to like about it. This is the kind of book that you want to read when you're sitting in the sun and you don't want to tax your brain. I found myself cringing over some of Gemma's choices but I did ultimately enjoy it.
Primarily because I myself have some level of adoration for all things Audrey.
