One rendez-vous, two stories.A charming romantic comedy that relates the parallel, contrasting lives of Sami and Charlene who meet through the internet. Charlene is the modern cynic, Sami the sensitive, romantic artist. A reversal of roles?

In C'est arrivé comme ça, his first novel, the sociologist's eye is clearly evident in his meticulous observations but we also discover his rare talent for storytelling. An exceptional performance that will certainly gain this author an even wider following.
