NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING ANNE HATHAWAY AND NICHOLAS GALITZINE ON PRIME VIDEO

THE SCORCHING HOT LOVE AFFAIR ABOUT THE MAN THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT . . .

EVERYONE IN THE WORLD KNOWS HIS NAME. BUT IT'S YOU HE WANTS.

To the media, Hayes Campbell is the star of a record-breaking British boyband.

To his fans, he's the naughty-but-nice front man - whose dimples and outlandish dress sense drive them crazy.

To Solène Marchand, he's just the pretty face that's plastered over every girl's bedroom wall.

Until a chance meeting throws them together . . .

The attraction is instant. The chemistry is electric. The affair is Solène's secret.

But how long can it stay that way?

Critics Review

  • The sleeper hit of the pandemic ... a glittering, global love affair full of bougie, vicarious travel. It's electric, triumphant, to read

    Vogue

  • This slayed me. It's the story of a single mom who starts an affair with a rock star in a boy band. She takes that premise and turns it into this incredible, effective, moving, honest, human love story

    Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and the Six and Malibu Rising

  • I DEVOURED this! The world-building and psychology around the romance was so good, and boy did the ending break me ... the book we really just NEED right now

    Holly Bourne

  • I'm madly in love with this novel

    Curtis Sittenfeld

    Prima

  • My book of the year! The writing is sharp and believable and the sex scenes are so scorchio that soon you too will stan for Harry Styles #ifyouknowyouknow

    Red

  • Steamy and sexy, this is escapism at its absolute finest. I spent the hours in between binges fantasising about the characters and what they were up to. The three days I spent reading this were blissful

    Laura Jane Williams, bestselling author of Our Stop

  • An addictive, glamorous, escapist page-turner - and pure wish fulfilment for Harry Styles fans

    Daily Record

  • Glorious, glamorous, dizzying escapism that has consumed me for the last day. I am not over it

    Cressida McLaughlin, bestselling author of The Cornish Cream Tea Bus

  • Summer's sauciest, sexiest read. This book has ruined my life and I'm not even mad about it

    I don't think I'm the target audience for this book. I'll admit, I bought it because Anne Hathaway is in the film, but I don't think even she could save this for me. Boy bands, and a woman who is so hung up on her age that I wanted to give her a good shake.
    If you like erotica, you're in for a treat, and if you enjoy a book about age differences in relationships you may well enjoy it too. But it would have been so much better if she hadn't been constantly worrying about the 20 year age gap. I mean, men do it all the time! I would've respected her more if she'd just enjoyed herself.
