The Idea of You
Description
Now an original movie on Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine!
When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband's request. The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solène and Hayes navigate each other's disparate worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami. And for Solène, it is as much a reclaiming of self, as it is a rediscovery of happiness and love. When their romance becomes a viral sensation, and both she and her daughter become the target of rabid fans and an insatiable media, Solène must face how her new status has impacted not only her life, but the lives of those closest to her.BUY THE BOOK

Honestly DNF’d it. Couldn’t not get into it. Forced myself to read about 40% of it and just did not enjoy it. It reads as a fan fiction of Harry Styles and One Direction. A lot of people seem to enjoy it but it just was not for me.
Eh, not sure about all the hype and I prob won’t watch the movie. Lots of sex, if that’s your thing you’ll like the descriptions but I’m not into super spicy books. Age gap romance✔️, full of lust✔️, and some wannabe feminism that doesn’t quite land✔️. Massive heartbreak everyone sees coming but them. Book #46 in 2024
Where do I begin with a book that broke your heart from beginning to end?
The realism of this story with bring you to your knees. The pain both main characters have the endure, whether is family, friends, or even the so called fans. No one should have to give up love because they are forced to.
Only reason it is a 9 for me, I was hoping for an epilogue. Highly recommend.
Alright, so picture this: “The Idea of You” is like diving headfirst into a whirlwind romance rollercoaster. It’s the kind of book that grabs you by the heartstrings and doesn’t let go until the very last page.
So, here’s the scoop: Solène Marchand, this fierce, kick-ass art gallery owner in her 40s, unexpectedly falls for Hayes Campbell, this ridiculously hot boy band member half her age. Yeah, cue the gasps and the eyebrow raises.
But hey, age is just a number, right? And Robinne Lee spins this tale with such finesse that you find yourself rooting for Solène and Hayes, despite all the societal norms and judgmental side-eye they encounter.
The chemistry between them? Off the charts. You’ll be fanning yourself and swooning one moment, and ugly crying the next. Lee doesn’t hold back on the emotions, folks.
And let’s talk about the glamorous settings – from Parisian art galleries to the glitzy world of celebrity. It’s like living vicariously through Solène’s fabulously chaotic life.
But beware, this book isn’t just about steamy romance and jet-setting escapades. It’s also a deep dive into love, loss, and the complexities of relationships. Lee tackles tough topics with grace and honesty, leaving you with a book hangover that’ll linger for days.
So, if you’re up for a rollercoaster ride of emotions, sprinkled with a generous dose of romance and glamour, then “The Idea of You” needs to be at the top of your reading list. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
