The book and its movie adaptation has received considerable attention from fans who liken the character Galitzine plays, Hayes, to Harry Styles in his One Direction days. The Idea of You's author Lee has dispelled the idea that the character is directly based on Styles in recent years, though. "This was never supposed to be a book about Harry Styles,” she told Vogue in 2020. “It was supposed to be a story about a woman approaching 40 and reclaiming her sexuality and rediscovering herself, just at the point that society traditionally writes women off as desirable and viable and whole.” 'Red, White & Royal Blue' Star Nicholas Galitzine Reveals If His Character Is Based on Prince Harry (Exclusive) The Idea of You is co-written by Jennifer Westfeldt and Michael Showalter from Lee's novel.
