Is Maya Henry's Novel Inspired by Liam Payne Relationship? What She's Said

Maya Henry, who was previously engaged to One Direction alum Liam Payne, wrote novel ‘Looking Forward’ about a model’s fictitious relationship with a pop star

Looking Forward, which came out on Tuesday, May 14, follows protagonist Mallory Hunt, who grew up in an exclusive Tennessee neighborhood but doesn’t quite fit in with the crowd of blonde debutantes. “From Dubai to Paris, London to Coachella, Mallory finds herself desperately in love with the former boy-bander despite fame, attention, and personal demons that threaten them both,” the book summary continues. In an excerpt of Looking Forward published by Cosmopolitan earlier this month, it is revealed that Mallory is also the daughter of an attorney and flees London when she and Oliver break up and end their own engagement.
