I so enjoyed listening to the audiobook of this. The author really made the author's humor shine through. I really felt for Luc, and I'm glad

he learned to value himself.

I did not love the treatment of Oliver's vegetarianism with him deciding to

eat bacon at the end

. Not saying it's not realistic for people to struggle with why they're doing something, but it's just not a helpful message.
