The Idea of You

Robinne Lee

3.6 AVERAGE


I have super mixed feelings about this book because the age gap just felt super yucky to me but the romance was still sweet.

I also watched the movie first so I knew what was coming for the most part although there was definitely lots different.

I normally don’t read books like this but this one was really well written. I loved Robinne’s use of vocabulary, her eloquent way of describing everything, and the whole premise of the story - it was so emotional and so well written!! I loved being able to see the ripple effect that fame can have.. The age gap bothered me a little bit, but most of the time Hayes was so mature I forgot he was 20 so that was great! This was the elevated wattpad fanfiction experience all of us used to be 1D fans needed!!!

Love a book based off of Archive of Our Own fanfic

Romance wasn’t realistic and I struggled to enjoy it and read about 100 pages before giving up

It's written as if the author speaks English as a secondary language with a limited grasp on the necessary grammar structures required for writing in English. And at times slipped between tenses and sometimes it felt like it also swapped from 1st to 3rd person. Makes for a confusing read
