Summary
"Les gens ne comprennent pas. Ils pensent que j’exagère. Mais en fait, je cherche quelque chose qui a disparu. Quelque chose de pur, de limpide... qui n’existe plus." Qui est Romane Monnier ? D’elle, il ne reste qu’un téléphone portable. Des notes, des messages, des souvenirs, des enregistrements, autant de traces confiées à un inconnu, un samedi soir dans un bar.
Community Reviews
Opinions on the book are mixed, with some readers captivated by its modern, sensitive portrayal of youth and the innovative use of digital artifacts to tell a story. Others, however, found the narrative lacking in depth and originality, criticizing it as overly simplistic and predictable. The fragmented storytelling through texts, voicemails, and digital records was seen as both a unique method and a point of contention for its execution.
