Late one night in the spring of 2014, I was surfing YouTube when I came across the face of a boy I’d never seen, in a band I’d never paid attention to. It was the kind of exquisitely assembled face that makes you stop whatever you’re doing and take notice. And then perhaps lose an hour or two Googling. I’ve been known to be obsessive. My research revealed that this boy had a penchant for dating older women. And so the seed was planted.
When my husband returned from his business trip a few days later, I joked that I was leaving him and our two kids and running off to find the pop star, and oh, by the way, he was half my age. My husband had a good laugh and then in a moment of clarity, he said, “You know, that would make a great book.�
Thus, began "The Idea of You."

I'm so thrilled to hear that the book is being turned into a movie! Is there a release date at this point? I have never been so emotional as a result of reading a book as I was after finishing The Idea of You. It truly tore me apart and I can't stop thinking about Solène and Hayes. I would to love to read more of your work in the future! Thank you!
