I had a blast re-listening to it again after watching the movie. Have you watched it yet?

I kind of enjoyed The idea of you (haven't read the book), i think based on the premise i expected something much worse, and it was pretty decent!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I think the Netflix adaptation definitely appeals to someone who wants an easy weekend watch.

I loved talking about the Idea of You movie with you, agree it lacked the pizazz of the book and you know how I feel about his clothes😂 I've added How to Read a Book to my Libby holds:)

I live in a suburb of Chicago and was a Portillo’s loyalist. Unfortunately, I think, when Dick Portillo sold several years ago, the food just isn’t the same!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll have to try the Starbucks drink.

Do you think they changed the recipe?

I think they changed the distributor where they got their food.

I totally agree about the movie of “The Idea of You” - it was missing the deep emotional connection between Hayes and Solene. It was good, fine, but yes - the book is always better!

That Starbucks oatmilk drink is a gamechanger. But i'm still mad they're $6.50 a bottle now! It sounds like you're having to make a really tough decision right now. I applaud you for ranking the pros and cons and finding a way to move forward that works best for you and your health.

Yeah $6.50 is still a splurge for sure.
