Customer Reviews

A main character so toxic I only wanted her to get away from her victim.

The Idea of You is possibly the worst book I ever read. I’ll never read anything from this author again. I question her moral compass if her goal was to make her female character even a tiny bit likable. It’s definitely the most unlikable main character that I’ve ever read. There is no defending her poor decision making that she continues to do throughout the book. The age gap is too big (mostly to do with the very young age of the “man” in her life). She knows what she’s doing will be devastating to her child and yet she continues. A recently divorced woman can prioritize herself and “get her groove back” without turning into a monster. All I could think about was that I wanted her away from him ASAP so that he could hopefully continue to mature without more damage than has already be inflicted on him in his short life. The movie fixed all of the issues I have with this book, so if you’d like to see this story and not feel sick the whole time, skip the book and watch the movie.

Loved the book

Loved the book, couldn’t put it down. Hated the ending, wanted more. Hoping for a sequel with a happy ending.

I loved this book!!!

This book is brilliantly written! I fell in love with Hayes and Solene and am so hoping that author Robinne Lee blesses us with a sequel! There’s definitely more to this love story!
