The Idea of You



Someone from my close proximity told me in recent times "Maani, Love is blind". Caming it out from a real person not a book wonders me first but yes, it could be blind. Going through the pages of this book slowly slowly makes me understand how people desire for it, how it could happend in most acceptable and non acceptable ways (according to social norms) and how people have to live with the circumstances of truley being in love. 

In such a controversial topic, the way Robinne Lee wrote the story of a single mother of 40, Falling in love with a guy of 24 years old from a famous boy band, Robinne Lee truely mastered the way of her writing filling it with empathy without getting cringed. She wrote it in a way not so "fairy tale" but merging with the reality of digital age, social media abuse, the way people  hate, talk and judge about other people's lives being truely emotionless and how the target become victimized with this unappealing vindictive behavior of the society. 

Casting the Gorgeous Anne Hathaway & equally handsome #NicholasGalitzine makes it easy to relive the experience while reading it in your head and I'm happy how the movie makers end it with a hope for this innocent duo in the movie who did nothing wrong but loving each other meanwhile in the book which is not. 

In a world either east or west Love is still struggling to find its way through society norms, where we all judge others ( people who say no Im not judging, oh c'mon you do it in your heads) I want to believe that oneday Love will find it own way to make us more human than being notorious gossip mongers! 

Only for readers not judgers highly recommending...

  1. The norms of love will always be in conflict with social norms as long as love exists in the world and there will be creative work.
