Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What a phenomenal read. Stunning and absolutely brilliant read. I truly have never had a book that I resonated with more than The Idea of You. Robinne Lee was so on point with womanhood and relationships from a woman's point of view, from society's view, a mother's point of view. From a 40 year old woman's view. It was not viewed from rose coloured glasses nor was it cynical or jaded. Experience, intelligence, independence, and human nature framed this story. I was absolutely awed by Lee's writing. Poignant, simple, beautiful and real. Matter of fact even when matters of the heart are not such. The characters juxtaposed with a simplicity and normalcy that made the reader relate on a level parallel to our own lives alongside layers of intricacy that provided an intimate and almost complicit view into their lives... lives that most of us 'regular' folk could never fathom. This story had such balance with moments of reckless abandon and dire restraint. With snippets of political views and personal tastes. Interlaced with passion... not only passion for love and commitment but for life, for respect, for womanhood, for need and want. While this story was fictional and quite possibly fanfic, the author's words were never more real, raw, emotional and never rang truer to a woman's life than if I had read a biography or anecdotal memoirs. The Idea of You will forever be one of my top reads. D 5+++/5
