Waterstones Says

Perfect summer reading for all fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Idea of You centres on a megastar boyband member and the passionate affair that must remain a closely guarded secret.

Everyone in the world knows his name... but it's you he wants. 

To the media, Hayes Campbell is 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 Solene Marchand, he's the pretty face that's plastered over her teenage daughter's bedroom wall.

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

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

But can it really stay that way forever?
