This week on the She Made Me Read It Pod, Gracie and Lydia discuss The Idea of You by Robinne Lee and These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan. Spoilers? The Idea of You = Spoiler Free! These Hollow Vows = Spoiler Free!

This episode focuses on “The Idea of You” by Robinne Lee and we can't wait to discuss it with all of you! Some of you might've watched the Prime Video hit movie of the same name, so we figured this was a good time to talk about the adaptation and compare it to the book! We have lots of thoughts about this one! “The Idea of You” centers around art dealer Solène Marchand and her unconventional relationship with boy band heartthrob Hayes Campbell. After having met at the August Moon concert, Solène is swept away into a life completely transformed into something unrecognizable. The two become a viral sensation and Solène is forced to deal with how this complicates her “real” life—particularly, the ways in which this all affects her young daughter.We paired the book with Pommery Royal Brut Champagne N.V., which speaks to the main character's ties to France and England.

Some of you Detective Bobs have already caught on to this, but: We're starting something new! It's officially time to give you the scoop on our romantic fiction entertainment company, 831 Stories…and the first book we're publishing, Big Fan by Alexandra Romanoff.

Get this week's full So Into That newsletter here! https://whattocook.substack.com/p/the-idea-of-you-author-robinne-leeThe Idea of You was a book that changed the way I read. I absolutely loved it. I recommend it all the time. And it was my gateway drug into the romance genre… although, as its author Robinne Lee shares in this episode, she never intended to write a romance novel (nor does she consider it to be one).The Idea of You really is about much more than meets the eye. As Robinne wrote in this Time article, the book grapples with themes including “ageism, sexism, the double standard, motherhood, female friendship, agency, and the dark side of celebrity.” And now that it's been turned into a hit movie starring Anne Hathaway, it's the perfect time to hear from Robinne herself.If you haven't read the book or seen the movie yet (BTW, I really recommend reading the book first!), it follows the relationship between a 40-year-old single mom and art gallery owner (Solène) and a boy-band lead singer 16 years her junior (Hayes). In the podcast, we talk about the inspiration for the book (it's not Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde, y'all); the tension between motherhood, romantic love, and career; what she wishes was different about the movie; and much more.We also get into:* Her hustling for 7 years to sell the book, copy by copy* Why she ended the story the way she did* Writing sex scenes and why she doesn't see TIOY as a romance novel* Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine's performances in the movie* A tantalizing tease about her next bookWhether you're a fan of The Idea of You or not (yet!), I'm so excited for you to get to know Robinne, who is also a talented actor and overall smart and fascinating woman.PS: I know I said So Into That episodes are going to air every other week now, but the world is currently *loving* The Idea of You, so I didn't want to sit on this interview!!

On today's episode we're chatting about The Idea Of You, Amazon Prime's hit romcom directed by Michael Showalter from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jennifer Westfeldt, based on the novel of the same name by Robinne Lee. Starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, it chronicles the love affair between a single mother and the lead singer of a popular boy band. Based on the number of viewers in its first two weeks on Prime Video it has become Amazon MGM's No. 1 romantic-comedy debut of all time! So the hype is certainly there, but we have some real questions, especially as readers of the book…a book that explored ageism, sexism and female agency.

What if your Jamaican born parents immigrated to the United States and expected you to uphold the morals and codes with which they had been raised, but placed you in a diverse environment where many of those rules simply didn't apply? Robinne Lee, actress, author, producer, grew up in Westchester County New York and was often the only Jamaican American in the room. But what would you do if one day you realized that your peers weren't comfortable unless they could put you in a category; Black or mixed? American or Jamaican? Worldly or naive? Would you try to conform to a standard that puts other people at ease? Or would you defy the stereotypes and live a life unexpected?  More From Robinne Lee: Publicity - Jessica Cohen jessica@jc-pr.com Website - home | robinnelee Instagram- @robinneleeFacebook: Robinne Lee | Facebook X:  Robinne Lee (@robinnelee) / X (twitter.com) Book- The Idea Of You the idea of you | robinneleeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/only-one-in-the-room--6052418/support.

It's timeeeeeeeeee!!!! ⁣⁣Today I'm joined by contributing editor at Vogue and freelance journalist, Michelle Ruiz, to recap the movie adaptation of our shared favourite book, Robinne Lee's “The Idea Of You”. ⁣⁣I first heard of Michelle when she wrote an article for Vogue back in 2020 about my favourite book. Since then, we've both been anxiously awaiting the release of the book's screen adaptation, a movie now available to stream on  Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, and directed by Michael Showalter. ⁣⁣I am THRILLED to have Michelle on the show today to dive deep into both of our POVs on this adaptation. As (very) passionate fans of the book, you can imagine we have some critiques. However, what we can say, is that you have never listened to a more comprehensive review of a book to screen adaptation EVER!! ⁣⁣Both of us would love to keep the conversation going, and are looking forward to your thoughts! Please, please, please chime into the conversation below - and share your perspective on the adaptation.

I hope you're finding a gentle landing spot int this new year. Longtime blog readers may recall my “weeks in review” turned “months in review” turned "season in review" over the years. And, of course, there's the annual Year in Review. This reflection exercise allows me to stay accountable, set and review goals, celebrate, and note what needs adjustment. Below is a list of my year's experiences. After the top 10, they're in no particular order. There's also a brief reflection and resources to support us moving into the new year. To compile this information I reviewed my Daybook, monthly dreams, birthday exercise (here's mine from 2021), goodreads app, ballet class platforms, and photos. Needless to say, it's a process! Consider your own 2022 list. Look for patterns, wins, challenges, boundaries, and those sweet moments in between. Although this year may have been challenging, you may just rediscover some gems when you compile your own Year in Review. Oh, and here's an Instagram reel with heaps of photos from 2022.

What Worked Well for Me in 2022? Hosting the Coterie, being off Facebook (video with tips forthcoming), trimming my offerings, full therapy practice, a bit of travel, love my office space, charity donations, home renovation, virtual private ballet sessions and group classes, new hip, memoir efforts. What Didn't Work for Me in 2022? Lack of mobility for two months, poor eating habits at times, not enough reading, challenges managing physical pain, not completing online courses, didn't create as much content as I wanted to, didn't complete memoir book proposal. What Did I Learn About Myself Last Year? I can handle a lot of discomfort (hip), I can win an award at a ballet competition, how much I love ballet (and struggle), how grateful I am for my tiny pink home and office, I made many more in person connections. How Did My Goals for 2022 Unfold? I achieved more than half of the Year's Dreams list in my Daybook such as releasing 25 podcasts, getting a new hip, nurturing the Coterie, adding video to my podcast interviews and created more Tea with Kimberly's, streamlining my website (thanks Mara!), setting up solid business bookkeeping, giving a proud performance of Lilac Fairy, remodeling chez moi, and taking trips to Paris. A few that I didn't meet and are still on my radar: read 48 books, complete my memoir proposal, solid pirouettes at the barre and in the center, daily salad, create e-courses. My 2023 Year's Dreams: get memoir proposal to my agent, healthy pugs, host 600th podcast event (save the date: February 20), send two monthly love notes (sign up here), release two monthly podcasts, increase color on my plate and eat more veggies/whole foods (less sugar—my life's struggle), carve out more family time, learn and perform Prelude from Les Sylphides at the International Adult Ballet Festival, celebrate my 50th birthday in a meaningful way, get back onto pointe, nurture my Coterie loves, incorporate more play and relaxation time (ongoing challenge), create a few micro-courses (any requests?), finish a few e-courses I've signed up for, donate to support orangutans, pigs, and pugs, create AM writing time, design spring #balletcore TDJ clothing collection, declutter. A Few of My Favorite Reads: The Idea of You by Robinne Lee, Personality Isn't Permanent by Benjamin Hardy, Free Time by Jenny Blake, Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman A Few of My Favorite Shows: White Lotus, Emily in Paris, Fleishman is in Trouble, The Patient A Few of My Favorite Songs: All things Harry Styles especially Falling and Sign of the Times Overall 2022 was a solid year. Ballet continued to be a dominate presence as did my therapy practice, the Coterie, and pug caregiving. I see this continuing into the new year and hope to make more space to write in my journal, create content for you, sip tea with friends, cuddle pugs, and read fireside {or by candlelight}. I'm still finalizing my word/theme for 2023 and feel it bubbling up inside. What about you? May 2023 be filled with time and space for what matters most to you!
