Publicity

It is the story of a young couple. His name is Victor, he gives private group music lessons; her name is Lola, she is a doctoral student and is writing her thesis. And they just love each other. A love without a cloud, which neither the smallness of their apartment, nor the money problems, nor the conflicts with mother-in-law have ever broken. Until one day a hugely popular computer program tells them when their romantic relationship will end. And this is where everything goes wrong, each wanting to thwart the dire prediction in their own way. It is in this infernal mechanism that this first novel takes us, which transports us with tenderness, mischief and irony in the throes of love at the time of new technologies. We laugh, we are moved, we also ask ourselves a lot of questions about the times we are living in."Broken hearts syndrome", the first novel by
