Lovers or Something Like It by Florian Zeller
When disaffected young Parisian Tristan meets pretty Amelie he is thrown off guard. He had sworn to stay single forever. He hasn't done anything to deserve falling in love: why him and why Amelie? This work portrays the doubts and desires of a generation, suffering from the agony of indecision and too many choices to feel true contentment.
A book that is at once simple and touching -- Delphine Barrais Ouest France There is a drop of Kundera in there, and a whiff of HoullebecqBut what strikes you is a breathless, edgy, almost stifled sincerity -- Patrick Besson Le Figaro Litteraire Florian Zeller has a talent that can be frightening. This knowledge of life, these descriptions of feelings, this disturbing perception of love, this apprehension of death... each page of the novel contains something astonishing... Zeller is disarming. More than promising he is bursting with talent -- Aurelie Sarot Metro
