Et si c’etait vrai (If Only It Were True) was Marc Levy’s debut novel, published in 2000. The premise follows a young architect named Arthur who discovers the ghost of a woman named Lauren in his San Francisco apartment. She is in a coma at a nearby hospital, and only he can see her. The story blends romantic comedy with a supernatural concept, and it struck a chord with readers immediately.
Levy returned to these characters with Vous revoir, a sequel set several years after the events of the first book. Arthur and Lauren are reunited under new circumstances, and the story picks up the emotional threads left from the original. The two novels form a connected pair. Readers who enjoyed the 2005 film adaptation, Just Like Heaven, will find the source material offers more depth and a distinctly French take on the same story.
