"I have never tasted the brightness of yellow, the calmness of blue, the cheer of green or the love of red. I felt something; still do I, but never related to colours. I only know the pureness of white and the mystery of black. Oh, and grey. For most of you, it's just a colour but it defines every little thing to me."

So you wanna talk about love? You wanna talk about heartache? Let's talk about ivy league freshmen Luke Henson and his unyielding desire to be liked, loved, remembered and prized. Then after that, let's talk about Kennedy Vo, resident alpha-girl and the star of everyone's daydream. This is about the heartache that comes with falling in love with the idea instead of the person. What it means to both admire and be admired from afar. A tale told through the eyes of both the Dreamer and the Dream.

This story won't unfold before you like a lazy paced beach read. No, it's bitchy. It'll hurdle at you and then jab you where it hurts. Told through jump cuts and snarky remarks, this is a story about self-hatred and the life-long hunt for salvation. First she's an NYU senior, making the most of her little life in big ole New York City, far from the spotlight, far from exploding paparazzi bulbs. Then enter Harry Styles, the heartthrob in every fairy tale - just with better hair - and she's suddenly Hollywood's new It girl. The perks are scarce and few, but damn, are they glittery. This is Rosie Young's exposé of what's at the core of young Hollywood's world. What it's like to melt under the spotlight. How it feels to be mute with a microphone in your face. Because even when you're noticed, you're still ignored. Inspired by Chuck Palanuik's 'Invisible Monsters' and our obsession with the young and famous.
