Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

INTRODUCING YOUR NEXT OBSESSION . . .

THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS HAYES CAMPBELL.

To the media, he's the enigmatic front-man of a record-breaking boyband.

To his fans, he's the boy of their dreams.

To his label, he's gold-dust.

And to Solène Marchand, he's the pretty face that's plastered over her teenage daughter's bedroom wall.

Until a chance meeting throws Hayes and Solène together . . .

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

But can it really stay that way forever?

Praise for The Idea of You . . .

Reviews

The sleeper hit of the pandemic ... a glittering, global love affair full of bougie, vicarious travel. It's electric, triumphant, to read 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 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 Fun, sexy, intelligent, I LOVED it 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 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

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

Glorious, glamorous, dizzying escapism that has consumed me for the last day. I am not over it Summer's sauciest, sexiest read. This book has ruined my life and I'm not even mad about it As the pages turned and the minutes passed, The Idea of You managed to work the ultimate book magic: It blurred the boundary between this world and that one An OMG page-turner that literally sucks you in from page one to the last few words. I found myself yearning for more, needing, really, to know what happens next...it's that good You finally have something else to obsess about [...] will have you staying up all night to finish Captures what fame looks like, and how it affects us all...a fun, juicy love story An honest and elegant book about modern love in the age of uber-celebrity and social media Not only is this romance a fun ride, but it also draws on themes of celebrity and sexism that will give you something to think about after you're done A fascinating, thought-provoking, genre-bending romantic read Sexy enough for the beach, smart enough for the book club I can't put this down... the anticipation of the slow burning relationship is completely compelling A sizzling summer love story that I couldn't put down I'm madly in love with this novel Expand reviews
