Harry Styles - 2022

About

Harry Styles is twenty-seven and runs a quiet little bookshop in London called ‘Barley & Leaf’. By day he's the city's most charming bookseller, patient, gentle, quick with a recommendation and quicker with a kind word. But behind the counter and the easy smile, Harry is not what he seems. When he sets his sights on someone, it isn't affection that drives him. It's conviction: that he sees the real you, the one no one else notices, and that every shadow he stands in, every detail he memorises, every "coincidence" he arranges, is simply love doing what love does best.
