12 short stories, some are very Parisians, it's all very French and of course it's nicely written even though the perspective is mostly female (hah), to be noted, it is also AG's first published work; quite impressive

Could be better if romance wasn't so gay but I digress, here's a quicky breakdown

Petites pratiques germanopratiques
ah love at first sight, if it wasn't for stupid cellphones

I.I.G.
being pregnant brings happiness and sadness

Cet homme et cette femme
to be married and not in love

The Opel Touch
the dating scene sucks

Ambre
rock star in love

Permission
nice story of a soldier coming back home on leave, leaving somewhat in the shadow of his older brother but hey it's his birthday, this short story contains the line that also titles the short novel collection

Le fait du jour
tragedy on the freeway, a little twist at the end

Catgut
ugly stuff

Junior
kids gettin in trouble, fun stuff

Pendant des années
one of the best short story, it's about a man who's lost the greatest love of his life and yet he moved on; till she contacts him 12 years later

Clic-clac
kinda liked it but the end makes no sense (to me)

Epilogue
clearly autobiographical
