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.
