About this listen
A legendary band, an iconic lead singer, and their mysterious connection to a woman whose love helped create the music of a generation. Timing is everything in a powerful novel about fate, regret, and moving on by the author of A Day Like This.
In the 1990s, Carter Wills was the lead singer of the English alt-rock band Mayluna, securing his place among music legends. His tortured-heart lyrics struck a chord. And so did his secret connection to a woman whose love changed all their lives. Who was she?
Evie Waters’s two grown children discover an iconic photo in an old magazine of a “mystery girl” with Carter: their mother. It all started in a wistful time and place for Evie, her twenty-fifth summer. A young columnist forging her career. Backstage euphoria. A long-shot interview. And an almost cosmic connection with an enigmatic musician on the rise.
What happened between them is a hidden story no one, not even Evie’s family, knows. Until now. Worlds apart, Carter and Evie finally reveal the story—joyful, regretful, and unforgettable. It was a time when the stars aligned for a love so profound the whole world felt it. It was as if it would last forever.

“This achingly romantic tear-jerker by McNeil (A Day like This) hits the same notes as Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones and the Six.”—Library Journal
“McNeil's latest is a dreamy, melancholy look back at young love…Fans of wistful love stories and intellectual music retrospectives will appreciate the astronomical metaphors throughout, intertwining music, math, and the planets into this complicated love story.”—Booklist
“An utterly engrossing story about secret lives, second chances, and encounters with enigmatic rock stars. Mayluna is fresh, heady, and nostalgic.”—Jennifer Gold, author of Halfway to You

5* Emotional Stars
I had been hearing a lot of buzz about this book and it just so happen that I had chosen it as my Amazon First Reads for January, so I dived into it and struggled to surface once I started it.
Mayluna was a fabulous read. It was a beautifully written love story involving family, friendships and secrets that will make you swoon one minute and tear up the next.
This was the first book I’ve read by the author and I know it will not be the last. I loved this book!
This story will remain with me for a long time as I reminisce and heal, wishing it had turned out the way I wanted it to!

Obsessed!
Oh my heart! This book has me feeling everything and sobbing. It was so poetically beautiful and so heartbreaking at the same time. I listened to this book and I’m so glad I did. The way the voice actors articulated everything the characters were feeling made me it so easy to connect. It was so real and raw. This book gave me Daisy Jones and The Six mixed with The Idea Of You Vibes. I highly recommend this to my romance tearjerk lovers. If you want an audiobook to listen to try this one! 😍 Only 1🌶️
