Summary
Included on The Skimm's 2020 list of Eight Books Both You and Mom Will Love. This program is read by the author.

'The sleeper hit of the pandemic . . . . There is no escapism like reading about a nearly middle-aged woman embarking on a glittering, global love affair with a thoughtful young sex god . . . . It's electric, triumphant to read.' —Vogue.com

'An OMG page-turner.' —Gabrielle Union

Solène 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 Solène 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 Solène and Hayes navigate each other’s worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami. For Solène, it is a reclaiming of self, as well as a rediscovery of happiness and love. When Solène and Hayes’ 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 romantic life has impacted the lives of those she cares about most.

I am absolutely obsessed with this book. I laughed out loud, screamed in shock, slapped my leg in excitement, and cried hysterically when listening to this book. If you listen as you drive be warned, this book will totally transport you and will make you think about ageism, social norms and even make you think about how celebrities deal with love and life under the scrutiny of the whole world through social media. 10/10 recommend this book!!!
