![]() ![]() ![]() I’m not suggesting that Robinne leaves us hanging in this respect. I wanted to more fully understand both sides of the story. I wanted him to tell me what Hayes might have been thinking at different points in the book. Naturally, I wanted to put myself in Soléne’s shoes and Matt in Hayes’s. This book is told completely from a woman’s (Soléne’s) point of view and left me wondering what the younger man (Hayes) was thinking and feeling. The Idea of You touches on many themes, including ageism, sexism, feminism, maternalism-all effectively presented but not preached. ![]() But the question remains, do all these differences amount to anything significant? Do they really matter in the grand scheme of things? They bring to the table different life experiences, different perspectives, different responsibilities. This book revolves around the romantic relationship between a thirty-nine-and-a-half-year-old woman and a younger man. Am I good enough as I am? What about me makes that person love me? Are they in love with me or just the idea of me? These are some of the questions that are subtly asked and answered in Robinne Lee’s The Idea of You. ![]() There are a lot of fears and doubts that come with being loved. ![]()
