"Set in London in the 1990s, Time of Your Life features Ysolde, one of the world's most well-known fashion models, and Joah, one of the brothers in a famous Oasis-type band, as they enter into a complicated and messy relationship, navigating the world of celebrity, fame, fashion, and the impossibility of finding love in it"--

She wasn't supposed to meet someone like him. He wasn't supposed to be her undoing.

It's 1995. Joah Harrigan is the brash, enigmatic frontman of the biggest band in the world, and Ysolde is the iconic face of a generation. She's who people write their songs about—the kind of girl who could ruin a man.

He doesn't fall, and she doesn't chase. But from the moment they meet, it's headfirst, reckless, and inevitable.

Too much, too fast, too consuming.

Loving Ysolde makes Joah feel alive, but it also makes him feel trapped. Her star burns just as bright as his, and he doesn't know how to be with someone he can't control. The more he wants her, the more he resents her for it.

But fame is corrosive, and so is love. Neither Ysolde nor Joah were built to survive both, because some loves don't end—they can't—so they just destroy you.

Time of Your Life by Jessa Hastings captures the raw and exhilarating essence of love and fame in the 90s, unraveling the lives of two unforgettable characters caught in a whirlwind romance.

About the Author

Jessa Hastings is an Australian native who now lives in Tennessee with her husband, two children, her beautiful, clingy dog, and three cats, which is one more than the last time she wrote one of these. She spends a lot of her time in London, which is still her favorite city in the world. Other current favorites are: Bluey, Jenni Kayne cardigans, Galaxy Minstrels, and Gracie Abrams's "The Secret of Us" album. Magnolia Parks was her debut novel and is the series that changed her life and made way for all this. She is very grateful.
