The Idea of You Kindle Edition

by J. Desails (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

4.0 33 ratings

See all formats and editions

Love is tricky. We seek comfort, yet we want it to feel new and exciting. We find ourselves creating an image of how it should be, and sometimes we end up falling in love with that idea.

Everything about Bo and Izabella’s relationship was unconventional. Izabella found herself content with the occasional sleepover and lack of commitment, regardless of the five years she had invested. After all, she had her own life as a high profile photographer living in New York City and was rooming with her best friend.

It isn’t until Bo; her on again off again boyfriend gives her exactly what she thought she wanted, that she questions her idea of love all along. Izabella seeks comfort in all the wrong, yet familiar places. She is forced to make a decision to follow her heart or her head, risking everything for the possibility of gaining nothing.

Great read!

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2018

This book was certainly filled with drama and suspense. Every chapter highlighted new adventures and developments/secrets for all characters.

The setting was great, as it created a balance between two chaotic loves.
The story is built on mixture of love and betrayal on both sides. It was hard to predict the final outcome which kept me intrigued, and I found myself picking up the book moments after putting it down.

I would definitely recommend this book and I look forward to the sequel with Iz. Hopefully the author won’t make us wait too long! 

If you don't like drama or <spoiler> cheating or pregnancy drama or annoyingly ...

I am kind of torn on how I feel about this book. I gave it 3 stars bc well it was decent.
But talk about DRAMA!!! If you don't like drama or <spoiler> cheating or pregnancy drama or annoyingly indecisive heroines</spoiler> then you may want to pass this one over. Because holy cow this book is full of miscommunication, lies, secrets, and multiple love interest.

Izabella and Bo's relationship was messed up from the start. Being together going on five years and really just being booty calls I don't know if that a relationship makes. More like a friends with benefits kinda situation than anything.

There's an old high school crush that shows up out of nowhere. And of course we can't forget about her best friend either. And All the he said she said. He did what and who and she is what and you have a kid huh going on. I mean really this is just so full of so much drama I got whiplash.

Actually the first half wasn't too terrible full of drama but by 80% it was all over the place and still coming on full force. I think it may have been best to stick with one or two of the situations, but hey that's just me.

But the book was still enjoyable even with all the drama it had in it. As far as I can tell this is the first book from this author and for that I think it was very well done. I do look forward to reading more of their work in the future.

Two thumbs up!

Normally I pick up a novel and read about half way through and end up getting side tracked but this one is hard to put down. After reading some of the reviews, I do agree there is tons a drama, but drama that keeps you guessing.. where will Iz end up and with whom? Recommend this easy read and relatable story.

I love this book! I have to disagree with a previous review, the drama keeps the story exciting! I couldn't put this book down because I loved all of the twists and surprises! I can't wait to read more from this author!

Cliff hanger warning. Don't waste your time with this book. I've just spent a few hours I will never get back. Little to no resolution was left in the end, just leaves you hanging without answers.
