The Idea of You Author on the Movie's New Ending
Briefly

The Prime Video adaptation tacks a 'Five Years Later' coda on the film, showing that Hayes and Sol rekindle their relationship once her daughter is in college. Lee says this classic Hollywood. 'It's America - Hollywood's going to do what they're going to do, and they're going to throw a happy ending on everything,' Lee told Entertainment Weekly.
Lee talked about the difference between her book's ending and the movie adaptation, highlighting the influence of Hollywood's tendency for happy endings: 'It's always the happy ending. Always the football player throw the ball for the big win.'
Lee acknowledges the divergence between the book and movie endings, recognizing the industry considerations behind such changes: 'You hope they'll keep to what you've written because it meant something to you, but you also have to think about the box office and viewers and what their audience is going to want to see.'
