Why Is The Book Believed To Be Heavily Inspired By Styles?
After the estrangement of her husband, Sophie braves herself into the crowds. She meets Hayes, a 24-year-old musician. He is the lead singer of the hottest boy band on the planet, August Moon. Harry Styles tends to love people older than him and this novel depicts just that characterization. Styles also was in the band called One Direction. When the band was active, it was also glorified as the biggest boy band in the world.
Lee gushed at critics and fans for keeping a celebrity on the pedestal while looking at the book. She added that the book was never about Styles. In an interview with Vogue, she said, “It was supposed to be a story about a woman approaching 40 and reclaiming her sexuality and rediscovering herself, just at the point that society traditionally writes women off as desirable and viable and whole.” What does Styles think the book is about? Let us stay tuned for the movie’s release to uncover the perspectives.
