The Idea of You

By: Robinne Lee

Narrated by: Robinne Lee

Now a major motion picture starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine.

Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of an art gallery in Los Angeles, is reluctant to take her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band. But since her divorce, she's more eager than ever to be close to Isabelle. The last thing Solène 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 and genuine relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solène and Hayes navigate each other's worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami. For Solène, it is a reclaiming of self, as well as a rediscovery of happiness and love. When Solène and Hayes's 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 romantic life has impacted the lives of those she cares about most.

Contains mature themes.

Holy shit.

Wow. Wow wow wow. I just finished this book and I’m paralyzed. So unbelievably good.

Definitely grows on you

Was hard for me to get past the age difference at first, but also hard to ignore the chemistry. By the middle of the book you forget there is even an age gap.

Didn’t love the ending though. Without giving spoilers, I just wish there was a bit more to the conclusion of the plot.

ROBINNE LEE WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

Amazing narration performance, and wonderful storytelling. I feel like my boyfriend of 5 years just broke up with me. Going to take me a long time to get over this book and Hayes

The relationships

I loved the book. Raw, tragic, real. I love the idea of their desire for each other. I loved the relationships and how they turned out between her daughter, her friends, her ex.

Perfect

I love the storyline, the love between them, and the fact that he did not care about her age. It was refreshing to see it the other way around, and it was wonderfully written.
