I MARRIED A JERK – The Story of (Almost) Every Woman - 100.000 copies sold in paperback!

It takes one to marry one, as the adventures of Pépita and Roméo reveal. A normal woman, (that is, one idiot enough to believe in the myth of conjugal bliss) wakes up one day to find herself playing Martha in “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” A fan of Lacan, but one who never misses an issue of Voici, Pépita is charming, socially savvy in a Saint-Germain-des-Prés/Saint-Tropez kind of way, and crazy. Crazy about love and crazy about Roméo, a golden boy but not exactly a jet setter, who finds her attractive, but, well, he's not really looking for . You know the story, two unattached electrons mutually attract and, at first, have nothing special in mind and then, suddenly, well, why not get married? But, what to do when you want everything, like love and freedom, sex and pregnancy, a family life but not the doldrums of the daily? A man, a real one. A woman with a man's brain and the body of Nicole Kidman. Pépita's and Roméo's hilariously unrealistic expectations will make you laugh ruefully as their daily life follows the script from hell. J'ai épousé un con is every woman's story because every woman, at one time or another, has thought, «Who is this schmuck? I married a jerk!» And every man has answered this unspoken thought with, “She may think she married a jerk, but I married a certifiable hysteric!” Go ahead, open the book, turn the page! You're in there too, it's guaranteed! Agnès Bouquet is thirty-something and lives in Paris. She is a journalist at France-Soir and Le Parisien and a screenwriter. J'ai épousé un con is her first work. Publication : 15 May 2008 – around 230 pages.
