Thanks to the publisher for my review copy. One of her tweets stated that she was "thinking about a sequel". How did Hayes make it through the years while waiting for Izzy to go to school? While the romance is fun, The Idea of You made me stop … think … and react in ways that I hadn't considered previously. As for a sequel, I'm still in the very, very early stages. Don't make it too improbable. I wanted him to tell me what Hayes might have been thinking at different points in the book. Edit where it becomes monotonous, give information slowly and subvert the supposed expectations. The author gives a lot of detail without being overly verbose. Secondly, I feel like some of the comments Hayes made about his past and his relationship with Oliver left an opening to more of his story.
But I'm all right with that. Nicholas is a singer as well as an actor so we expect that there may be some original music in the film too. But the wait to finally get some answers is pure agony…. The story was fantastic, the characters well played out and the steaming romance scenes so smoking hot. And this one takes you there. I just do my best to get through the day.

The hero was just my type of guy—a beta male! Because it is responsible for tying everything together and defining the reader's experience of reading that particular book. It wasn't until I started being asked by writers and non-writers why I begin at the end, did I discover that a lot of other, very successful writers, choose this technique also! This is the author's debut novel and she hit it out of the ball park. We did, at first, wonder what so enamoured the sweet, wise beyond his years, Hayes to pursue the somewhat aloof Solène so vigorously, but we trusted the author to slowly reveal all. We assume it can't be high art. Of course, Solène oozed beauty, poise and confidence, but what did Hayes see behind Solène's facade that made him so desperate to woo her? She brought her character to life in the best way. It was wee-written and deeply connects with the reading audience. The Idea of You touches on many themes, including ageism, sexism, feminism, maternalism—all effectively presented but not preached. I was fun to see Robinne Lee's take on the world of boy bands and fame. Always have the end in sight. In fact, for many years, I thought I was the only writer doing it.
Over the years we have all witnessed our favorite authors have their visions completely ignored once their work was adapted for the screen. Publication date: April 3, 2018. Is The Idea of You about Harry Styles? Whenever I was not listening to the audiobook, which is brilliantly narrated by Robinne Lee herself, I found myself itching to be alone so that I could listen to it for just a little bit longer.

Hayes is the lead singer of a famous boy band called August Moon (based on One Direction. ) I loved EVERYTHING about this book. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Undoubtedly, many writers have the rare skill of letting the writing flow without planning the manuscript. So far, there are only limited details about who is in The Idea of You cast, but what a cast it is! As for the story… Well, it's about an almost 40 year old divorcee who meets a 20 year old boyband member when she takes her daughter backstage at his concert. This author writes with a knowledgeable and beautiful prose that encapsulated everything we love, but rarely find in this trope. The Idea of You has something that is sometimes lacking in contemporary fiction: magnetism. It turns into a full-blown affair, with Sophie and Hayes meeting up in various cities around the world as she grows her art gallery business and he is doing concerts with the band.

Any books you could recommend? The audio production is wonderful. Hathaway was excellent in "WeCrashed" on Apple+ TV, a limited series based on the downfall of WeWork. While the age gap is large, and further complicated by the presence of Solene's thirteen-year-old-August-Moon-obsessed younger daughter, this novel was anything but icky.
It's just that good. What happens five years from now when Izzy goes off to college and Solene is alone? We were completely floored by this story; easily becoming swept up in its honesty and raw emotion and by the striking prose of first-time author, Robinne Lee. I cried so hard, I laughed out loud, and I honestly enjoyed the book so much. I'm not suggesting that Robinne leaves us hanging in this respect. And the most fascinating part is that whatever theories crop up about the final, they are neither right nor wrong. Production will begin in October. The end is the beginning. Scour through your story to see if your end justifies the developments in the narrative. Format: Audiobook (Purchased via Audible subscription).
