We share a hyper obsession with that gold necklace. Whilst impatiently awaiting an update from the email you have pending, I found this. Seems close enough but fingers crossed you hear back with the exact one. I must have it!!

Every time I pitch this book to someone I always encourage them to pictures themselves as Solene and their favorite boy band member as Hayes. Loved the insight from Robinne and cannot wait for this movie!

The movie looks so good! Love this line from the trailer ‘Did I not warn you? People hate happy women’

Okay I'm laughing at your solving murders line. I'm also beside myself with all of this new information. I need to stop saying that Hayes was based on Harry Styles. And I'm screeching that he knows about this book!!!

I knew I could count on you to get to the bottom of this—there was never a doubt.

I feel a bit chastened by Robinne, but love her thoughts regardless. Is Harry still my Hayes? Always and forever. But if one more person calls the book fanfic, I vote we riot. I've been waiting for your review of the movie because I'm very, very nervous - but this just made me more excited than nervous.

I completely agree about the fanfic. I also saw a Reel on Instagram where someone stated “This movie is so obviously about Olivia and Harry” when the book was published years before they even got together. But that’s why you can’t trust everything you read on the internet I suppose.

Omg every time I see the thing about Olivia and Harry I just want to scream. Do your research, people!

I need the update on where her necklace is from. I’ve been scouring the internet for days and nothing looks a perfect as that necklace looked on her.

Hi Becca ! Oh wow! I’m holding on to this fave book tight. I loved it. Grace recommended it. I was a 36 year old single mom madly in love with a sexy and gorgeous 24 year old in a band . He wanted to marry me. The kids. My parents. It heartbreakingly did not happen . My best friend took the opportunity because she could . ( Girl Code Betrayal) I never forgot it or him and the loss of him , so this book is me years ago . Can’t wait to see the movie . I was hoping that the movie was as good. Thank you!!!!
