Publisher's Summary
The number one French best seller and winner of the Maison De La Presse Prize
Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe, a famous writer chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back to Philippe's teenage years, to a winter morning in 1984, a small French high school, and a carefully timed encounter between two 17-year-olds. It's the start of a secret, intensely passionate, world-altering love affair between Philippe and his classmate, Thomas.
Dazzlingly rendered by Molly Ringwald, the acclaimed actor and writer, in her first-ever translation, Besson's exquisitely moving coming-of-age story captures the tenderness of first love - and the heartbreaking passage of time.

Refer to title. No words are grand enough to express the emotions I now feel

Not the least bit interesting
Poorly written in the first person. Uninteresting voice. An underwhelming storyline. It did not hold my attention. There are better books around.
