A man, his fan, and their romance... can it survive the ghosts of their past?

Vera has lost herself.

Former Rockstar Nate F*cking Whitely has led a life of isolation since the traumatic events that led to his band splitting up; except for his relationship with his now fourteen-year-old daughter, Elsie.

When she was Elsie's age, Vera idolised Nate. But she's just come out of a long-term relationship that changed her dramatically and left her feeling she'd lost who she is.

And when they met, there it was: The Look.

The Look was something Nate hadn't seen for a long time: an innocent, star-struck adoration; something akin to selfless love and devotion.

The same qualities that her ex took advantage of gave Nate a feeling of safety, while Vera could barely believe that she might have secured the interest of a man she used to dream about... But trusting someone new isn't easy for either of them. If Vera wasn't enough for her ex, how could she be enough for Nate, who hasn't had a serious relationship since Elsie's mother left him? And can Nate find the courage to open up and let Vera love him, and will he risk loving her in return?

The Look is a closed-door, age gap, single-parent rockstar romance novel written from an omniscient 3rd person perspective, where fears and past wounds are the greatest obstacles to happiness. If you enjoy the writing of Nick Hornby and David Nicholls, you'll love The Look.
