Now an original movie on Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine!
When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband's request. The last thing she 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 relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solène and Hayes navigate each other's disparate worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami. And for Solène, it is as much a reclaiming of self, as it is a rediscovery of happiness and love. When their romance becomes a viral sensation, and both she and her daughter become the target of rabid fans and an insatiable media, Solène must face how her new status has impacted not only her life, but the lives of those closest to her.

      In L.A., where celebrity sightings are commonplace and youth equals beauty, single mother Solene Marchand tries to live above it all and reluctantly accepts that in her world middle-aged women are invisible. So when she takes her teenage daughter and friends to a concert in Las Vegas, she is surprised when the founding member of the biggest boy band of the last decade sets his sights on her. At half her age, British heartthrob Hayes Campbell seems extremely grounded for a comely rock star who is constantly bombarded by nubile fans. Excited to be flirting with danger, Solene is seduced by Hayes' swagger and agrees to secretly meet him in exotic locales with the promise of privacy. But as the reality of celebrity sets in, she realizes that their age difference isn't the only obstacle to their budding relationship. Less romance and more erotic novel, this sexy and bittersweet debut by actress-turned-author Lee zeros in on Solene's struggle as she is torn between her desire for Hayes and her need to live a normal life.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
