What's 'The Idea of You' REALLY about?
Robinne Lee, author of the book which inspired the hit movie starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, is here to clear everything up... plus:
• Why she doesn't consider 'TIOY' a "romance novel"
• Why it's impossible for Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde to have inspired the characters Hayes and Solène
• What she liked and didn't like about the movie
• The tension between motherhood, romantic love, and career
• Why she chose that ending
• Her next book
• And much more!
Whether you’re a fan of The Idea of You or not (yet!), I’m so excited for you to get to know Robinne, who is also a talented actor and overall smart and fascinating woman.

Great interview. The AM soundtrack is ridiculously incredible. Nicholas is so talented. Maybe we could have a The Idea Of You series down the track of the real Solène just like the One Day movie to One Day Series. I would love that.

I loved this book. Thank you for writing this. ❤

What a great conversation! Thank you.

I'm really hooked on this soundtrack.

Thank you for this wonderful conversation! I read this book in August 2017 after finding Robinne down a Twitter rabbit hole and was captivated by the story. I've spent time reading mythology and feel this book is more in the mythic realm than your average story. For me, this is a "coming of age" story, primarily (obviously it is multi-genre) - a woman stepping into her sovereignty, which we as women do throughout our lives not just in our 20s. For instance, Georgia O'Keeffe moved to New Mexico when she was in her early 60s. One could say she "unfolded" within that landscape.

I loved the Audible narration. So many books are ruined by not great narration. The movie gave musical background in my head.

I watched it last night. Loved it. And I agree about so many layers to this movie. Biggest one for me was the acceptance/ permission she needed from her friend to follow her heart. Sad but true❤
