The romance film is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Robinne Lee, who sparked rumors that the book was based on One Direction's Harry Styles.

She has always stated that Style's influence on the novel was more of an initial muse, but responded that “inspired is a strong word” when asked if the male character was modeled on the pop star.
