I decided to read this book because of the upcoming movie, and I think, had I not been picturing Nicholas Galtzine and Anne Hathaway in my head, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did. It's spicy and plays on the desires we have of someone famous falling in love with us. I do like that the older partner in the couple was the woman. That doesn't happen as often. Though, if the roles were reversed, I don't think I would have been too comfortable reading it. All of that being said, I did really enjoy it and read it fairly quickly.
0Buckle up, Friends... here comes my review for The Idea of You by Robinne Lee.
Solène, a 39 year old, divorced mom engages in a relationship with a man who is 19 years her junior. Problem is, Hayes isn’t just a normal 20 year old. He’s a member of the hottest boy band, August Moon. What starts off as innocent flirtation quickly turns into a full fledged, travel around the world love affair. Fame comes at a high price and we see it all right play out between Hayes and Solène and also Solène and her 13 year old daughter. Obviously, not all that glitters is gold. Being a realist I appreciated the honest ending despite the fact that I wanted to hug Hayes and never let him go. Solène does not deserve him and his mouth
