Bien malgré elle, Florence est une amoureuse en série. Romantique et fleur bleue, elle croyait dur comme fer que son premier amour durerait toujours. Mais la vie s'est vite chargée de lui prouver que la réalité n'est pas comme dans les films, et que son destin serait différent de celui des membres de sa famille, dont les couples perdurent, pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Au fil de ses rencontres, Florence échafaude une théorie sur l'amour. Même si elle continue d'y croire, elle se bute au mur des ruptures, et se laisse doucement aller au cynisme et à la désillusion. Mais le soleil n'est jamais très loin, et lorsqu'on lâche prise, le courant finit bien par nous mener quelque part. Une série de sketchs tragi-comiques pour rêver à l'amour ou se remettre de ses peines. Ne vous en faites pas, ceci est un livre, et les histoires, ça finit souvent bien.

Milan Kundela zhu

Sometimes — perhaps only for an instant — we fail to recognize a companion; for a moment their identity ceases to exist, and thus we come to doubt our own. The effect is at its most acute in a couple, where our existence is given meaning by our perception of a lover, and theirs of us. With his astonishing skill at building on and out from the significant moment, Kundera has placed such a situation and the resulting wave of panic at the core of his new novel. In a narrative as intense as it is brief, a moment of confusion sets in motion a complex chain of events which forces the reader to cross and recross the divide between fantasy and reality.

And she's willing to argue her theory with anyone -- including the criminally gorgeous coffee guy, Joe, who supplies her with her daily caffeine fix.It turns out Joe has strong opinions of his own on the subject, and Laurel figures her readers might enjoy sharing their fiery exchanges of ideas. But once the coffee cart debates become the hottest thing in print, Laurel finds herself in hot water -- because sexy Joe is suddenly determined to prove to her that head-spinning, knees-weakening love is possible. And in this particular battle of the sexes, the loser might actually win . . . if she ends up losing her heart!
