Summary

• Après Ma vie (pas si) parfaite, la créatrice de l'inoubliable accro du shopping nous offre une nouvelle comédie, pleine de charme, d'humour et de rebondissements, sur un couple bien décidé à pimenter sa vie... pour le pire et surtout le meilleur. Dix ans de bonheur sans nuage, deux adorables jumelles, une belle maison et des jobs épanouissants : Sylvie et Dan filent le parfait amour. Jusqu'à ce rendez-vous médical de routine où ils apprennent qu'ils vivront certainement centenaires, soit soixante-huit belles années de vie commune devant eux. Sept décennies côte à côte ? Une éternité ! Et c'est le début de la panique... Pour préserver la flamme, le couple lance le projet " Surprends-moi ", fait de cadeaux inattendus, dîners surprises, séances photos sexy... et autant d'occasions de malentendus, aussi drôles que désastreux. Mais les fous rires vont rapidement laisser place à d'étonnantes révélations. Et quand un scandale du passé resurgit, Sylvie et Dan en viennent à se demander : se connaissent-ils réellement ?
• After being together for ten years, Sylvie and Dan have all the trimmings of a happy life and marriage; they have a comfortable home, fulfilling jobs, beautiful twin girls, and communicate so seamlessly, they finish each other's sentences. However, a trip to the doctor projects they will live another 68 years together and panic sets in. They never expected "until death do us part" to mean seven decades. In the name of marriage survival, they quickly concoct a plan to keep their relationship fresh and exciting: they will create little surprises for each other so that their (extended) years together will never become boring. But in their pursuit to execute Project Surprise Me, mishaps arise and secrets are uncovered that start to threaten the very foundation of their unshakable bond. When a scandal from the past is revealed that question some important untold truths, they begin to wonder if they ever really knew each other after all. With a colorful, eccentric cast of characters, razor-sharp observations, and her signature wit and charm, Sophie Kinsella crafts a humorous, yet thoughtful portrait of a marriage and shines a light on the danger of not looking past the many layers of the ones you love to discover how infinitely fascinating and surprising they truly are
