About the book:
Lilichka dreams a lot and wants a lot. Lilichka has a superpower called "Why not?" She pulls it out whenever a new idea comes to her mind, and her hands itch to bring it to life. One day, her adventurous spirit takes Lilichka from a provincial town to the other end of France, to Angoulême. In the local bookstore, she stumbles upon an ordinary and inconspicuous black notebook.
"Why not start keeping my own journal at last?" Lilichka says to herself. She has no idea that it will become her special place, where she will recall student stories from Ukraine, Switzerland, and France. Along with them, she will share tales of love from Tinder, eternal dissatisfied Frenchmen, life on a farm, and a career change. The seemingly unremarkable black notebook for 5 euros and 39 cents from an Angoulême bookstore contains Lilichka's entire world.
