Someone to Talk To by Grégory Panaccione
4.0
(I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.)
Samuel is a 35-year-old man working and living in Paris, but his life is far from perfect: he's single, he has no other friends than an old couple that lives in his building and he isn't fulfilled with his job. On his birthday, he decides to call the number of his childhood home... and his past self picks up! After some conversations with himself, Samuel realizes how dissatisfied he really is with his life and tries to do better. Will he be able to change his life to make his younger self proud?
I looooooved this! The message of the story (aka doing something with your life that your 10-year-old self would be proud of) may be a little on the nose, but I feel like this was so well done. The illustrations were beautiful, witty and added A LOT to the story. I definitely recommend giving this book a chance!
