The book was in French - most likely by a Canadian author, though it’s possible that it was in Met French or just a Canadian-French of an English book.
Main cover is done in cold colours, like green and purple. If I remember it depicts the protagonist, who was depicted as sort of this skeleton-looking creature who I think was wearing a hoodie, basically emerging from his grave.
I remember the beginning, where he comes back to life (no reason given from what I remember) and the first thing he does is visit his girlfriend, but gets upset when he finds out that she’s already dating someone else even though it’s only been six months. Later in the novel they seem to get back together, though it may have been a different woman the protagonist was involved with. During an exchange between the two they mention The Big Short (unless I was mistaken and it was a different movie they mentioned), so the book must have been released at around the time of the movie’s release or after it.
At a later point the person who the girlfriend had been dating tries to kill himself by jumping off a building, but although the girlfriend talks him down he stumbles and falls to his death.
IIRC, the book ends with the protagonist trying to jump off a building as well, only to find that since he’s already dead, he can’t die again, with the last words of the book being him just saying “merde”.
