“This was never supposed to be a book about Harry Styles,” Robinne told the fashion magazine in 2020.
“It was supposed to be a story about a woman approaching 40 and reclaiming her sexuality and rediscovering herself, right at the point where society traditionally dismisses women as desirable and viable and whole.”
While Styles may have sparked the idea for the book, Robinne used multiple sources to construct Hayes.
“Inspired is a strong word,” Lee said after being asked if Harry was the inspiration behind the book.

Page turner: Vogue has called the book, published in 2017, a “sleeper hit” and sales have increased every year since its release.
Robinne said she came up with the idea during a late-night YouTube search.
“A few years ago, my husband was away on business and I was up late browsing music videos on YouTube when I came across the face of a guy I’d never seen in a band I’d never paid attention to, and he was so “aesthetically perfect that it took me by surprise. It was like… art,” he said in a 2017 article. interview with blogger Deborah Kalb.
“I spent a good hour Googling and trying to figure out who this guy was and in doing so discovered that he often dated older women, and so the seed was planted.”
