I remember when the Idea of You came out & I read some of the comments. I did not want to read the book. Now the movie comes out & for some reason I decided to read the book & I can’t put it down!! Oh I was mad at the end. I kind of wish I never read it. Maryse, you posted it ends differently, now I’m curious I may have to watch the movie.
Watch the movie, Lisa!!! It’s fantastic, feel genuine when she reacts to the entourage… all the feels (good and bad) and then… an ending. 😉 Watch it!!
I just finished watching the movie. Not often can you say the movie was better than the book. For me this time it was so much better. The movie was so well done & the cast was perfect. I love HEA’s!!
