Cedric Michel is a French writer whose work blends emotional rawness with psychological depth. His writing explores themes of identity, survival, mental health, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. Jay’s Will is his most personal and powerful story yet, a book born from lived experience, fierce empathy, and a refusal to look away from the darkness.
In a world that moves too fast and forgets too easily, Jay’s Will captures the quiet desperation of a young man on the edge. Told through the powerful voice of Jay, who writes his will not to divide wealth but to pass on wisdom, the novel explores deep emotional scars, unlikely friendships, and the internal war of staying alive when everything urges you to give up.
Structured in four parts, each dedicated to someone who helped him survive: Maeva, Paulo, Margo, and Victor, this novel walks the line between gritty realism and poetic introspection. Jay faces homelessness, underground violence, corruption, and soul-wrenching loneliness, but his story is also about laughter, loyalty, and love that defies definition.
If you’ve ever felt lost, invisible, or broken, Jay’s Will will remind you that your story matters, and so do you.
