Book is in French Amélia Dubé is preparing to celebrate her birthday, a moment that she dreads every year since Nicolas left her on the evening of her birthday, scratching her heart and, as a result, her faith in love. A passionate veterinarian, she runs the ''A un poil du Bonheur'' shelter, where she takes care of "her little animals" without counting her hours. It must be said that dealing with the escape of a raccoon, the injury of a puppy or the arrival of a litter of kittens does not allow you much time for anything else. The bubbly single woman sees her life turned upside down when a handsome stranger, on a visit to find the perfect four-legged companion, shows up at the shelter and gently shakes her certainties. This unprecedented emotion delights Jasmine and Julia, her two best friends, who feared that she would persist in living alone, far from men and disappointments. Over the weeks, Amélia and Alex develop a tender bond, but as soon as she opens up a little to him, he closes off.
