The official premise reads:

'Solène Marchand is a 40-year-old divorced mother who, at her ex-husband’s request, takes their teenage daughter to Coachella and things take a surprising turn when she strikes up a budding romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of the famous pop boyband August Moon'

It stars Hathaway, Nicholas Galitzine, Ella Rubin, Reid Scott, Jordan Aaron Hall, Jaiden Anthony, Raymond Cham, Viktor White, Dakota Adan, Annie Mumolo and Perry Mattfeld.

It was believed that the character of Hayes Campbell was loosely based on Harry Styles due to his emergence with "the biggest boyband on the planet" akin to One Direction.

But Lee, who wrote the novel, says Styles isn't a direct inspiration.

“This was never supposed to be a book about Harry Styles,” 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.”
