THE IDEA OF YOU by ROBINNE LEE 💡(Overview, Summary, Book Review) / Happy movie release day!

Today is the Prime Video release day for The Idea of You by Robinne Lee! In this video, I give an overview of the book's synopsis, themes, and characters, Solene Marchand and Hayes Campbell.

I also share my favorite quotes from the book and gush about why it's a 6-star read for me. If you've heard there's a super sneaky bonus end scene, you've heard right. I share details on where to get that edition!

If you're an audiobook listener, you won't want to miss Robinne's narration of her book—it is wonderful and deeply emotional.

Happy reading (and watching)!
