Ce roman se passe à Paris.
Et pourtant on y croise des crocodiles.
Ce roman parle des hommes.
Et des femmes.
Celles que nous sommes, celles que nous voudrions être, celles que nous ne serons jamais, celles que nous deviendrons peut-être.
Ce roman est l'histoire d'un mensonge.
Mais aussi une histoire d'amours, d'amitiés, de trahisons, d'argent, de rêves.
Ce roman est plein de rires et de larmes.
Ce roman, c'est los angeles vie.
