About this audiobook

Solene Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of an art gallery in Los Angeles, is reluctant to take her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band. But since her divorce, she's more eager than ever to be close to Isabelle. The last thing Solene expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate and genuine relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solene and Hayes navigate each other's worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami. For Solene, it is a reclaiming of self, as well as a rediscovery of happiness and love. When Solene and Hayes's romance becomes a viral sensation, and both she and her daughter become the target of rabid fans and an insatiable media, Solene must face how her romantic life has impacted the lives of those she cares about most. Contains mature themes.

Ratings and reviews

It is so well written. It feels like you are traveling through the art world and with your favorite Jr. high boy band. Even though the outcome is inevitable; the journey of this sad love story touched my heart. I watched the movie and the ending felt forced and now I see why. Reading the book I realize that I am supposed to feel the gut wrenching sacrifices we make for true love.

for those of you who haven't read the book yet but watched the movie. they changed the ending to give the characters a Happy ending

love this book. the narrator did a fantastic job. i cried and laughed and cried some more. 12/10!
