For some reason this triggered thoughts about the book The Idea of You by Robinne Lee and the Prime version of her book. Not exactly in the same vibes category. But once I saw the promotion for the Prime version coming, I felt I must read the book first. I didn't read about reactions to the differences. Just found it interesting that the age difference was modified and that the ending was modified. Won't say more. My son hates any hints of spoilers.
I read some of The Idea of You and then drifted away from it for whatever reason (probably a reading mood I was in), but it's still sitting on my shelf. I haven't watched the movie yet.
I think I share your exact feelings about the three movies (the first one still being my favorite, although the ENDING to the second movie is maybe my favorite of them all). I recently watched Rye Lane, which mostly follows a similar format of two people spending a day together.
Agreed! The ending of the second one is super great. I haven't heard of Rye Lane. I'll have to check it out. Thanks! I do love the concept of a story being set in one day. Writerly me is fascinated by how someone pulls off a whole love story in a day with it still feeling authentic and not instalove.

I haven't read them or watched them, but I'd give it a chance.

this is (almost) the challenge I have set for myself in the book I'm writing now, and it is definitely quite the challenge . . .
Nice! Good luck!
I love HEAs. I do love character-driven plots plus action. I’m a mixed bag.
I love your newsletter. Thanks.
Thanks, Renee! :)
