The novel — which was “inspired by true events” — follows the stormy relationship between high-fashion model Mallory Hunt and Oliver Smith, a British former member of the boy band 5Forward.
At one point in the book, Mallory visits Oliver, who is acting erratically due to drugs and ferociously hitting himself “again and again, working himself into a frenzy.”

Mallory begs Oliver to stop hurting himself, but “before I can even touch him, he’s on his feet,” Henry writes.
“He looks at me for a split second, then turns on his heels and races straight for — Oh no. F–k. The balcony.”
Oliver yells that he’s “gonna f–king kill myself … I want to die.”
The fictional circumstances are eerily prescient of Payne’s death. However, in Henry’s book, it’s her character, Mallory, who falls off the balcony and is thankfully unharmed.

The former One Direction band member fractured his skull and died at age 31 after falling from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires Wednesday.
According to photos verified by Argentina’s biggest newspaper, La Nacion, the singer’s room was in shambles with a smashed television and drug paraphernalia scattered around.
Pablo Policicchio, a spokesperson for the Security Ministry of the Buenos Aires municipality, told the Associated Press that the singer-songwriter had seemingly “thrown himself from the balcony of his room.”
The employee said he feared for Payne’s life shortly before the fatal fall.
“We have a guest who is [allegedly] high and drunk; and when he is conscious, he is destroying his room and we need you to send someone, please. We need you to send someone urgently because I don’t know if his life is in danger,” he pleaded in the audio translated from Spanish.
“He is in a room that has a balcony and we are scared he might be endangering his life.”

The author made claims about Payne’s mental health during Monday’s episode of “The Internet Is Dead” podcast, alleging he would often predict his death.
“He would always message me ever since we broke up [saying], ‘Oh, I’m not well,'” she alleged. “He would always play with death and be like, ‘Well, I’m going to die. I’m not doing well.'”

She described Payne’s messages as a “manipulation tactic” and claimed he was trying to make her feel bad for him even though they were no longer together.
