Merde Happens

The cultural clash is so sharp and funny — I wonder if this was based on personal experiences or pure satire. How did the author decide on this unique mix?

The book’s comedy feels so specific yet relatable — I’m curious if readers who have lived in France felt it was spot-on or exaggerated for effect.

The humor never felt mean-spirited, which made the satire more charming. I wonder what went into shaping that tone to keep it light and fun.
