Super hôte (Quai Voltaire)

The book manages to be funny and heartfelt at the same time, which isn't easy. I'm curious about how the author approached blending these tones seamlessly.

I found myself relating to her struggles with self-acceptance and the desire to reinvent herself. Was that true for others, or did it feel different?

The vibrant environment added so much energy to the story. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or crafted it purely from imagination.
