Love
"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.
