Allie thought that she had it all. Allie loved her job as a public relations executive, a mother of two great kids and married to Wade a magazine editor. Allie is also taking a class in writing. Allie's true dream is to be a writer.

Allie had gone though a tragic episode at a young age. Her father that she adored died in a plane crash. Allie just happened to be on the same plane along with her good friend James and his mother. Not only did Allie lose her dad in the crash, but she also found out that her dad and James' mother were having an affair. James survived the crash along with Allie, but he also lost his mother in the crash.

Allie had always thought that James and she would end up together. But along comes Wade, and Allie thought she found the man of her dreams. As Allie life moves on, she realized that her life was far from being perfect. Wade has a habit of cheating on her.

By a strange encounter, Allie meets women named Jackie. Jackie has been wronged by several men in her life. Little did Allie know that Jackie was one of the women that Wade had cheated with. Jackie wants Allie's help in bringing down several men who are laundering money in a foreign country.

Allie is having a very hard time believing what Jackie is telling her. Allie is going though too much in her life right now. James is still a good friend after all they have been though. James seems to be the only one that Allie can talk to about what is going on in her life.

Allie is trying very hard not to believe what Jackie is telling her, but after looking though papers in Wade's office, the puzzle seems to be coming together. Did he really do everything that Jackie is saying. Allie's Idea of Him is slowing changing.

Holly Peterson's books are great reads. Holly's book made me think of some of the men who have in the past caused me pain. Almost every woman has probably has gone through something like this in their lives. I feel by reading THE IDEA OF HIM, it does make women really think about their past and if they could do what Allie did to get her revenge.

I really feel that THE IDEA OF HIM is a good summer read, while relaxing on the beach or just sitting in your own back yard.
