I have had Kate Russo’s Super Host on my library hold list since it became available in 2020 and just finished it after my library finally purchased it. It has a cheerful cover and Ms. Russo’s team must include an incredible PR person because I heard about this book through multiple national outlets.
What I expected based on PR, book blurbs and the cover design: a cheerful, charming and funny exploration into being an Airbnb host, and the amusing characters and situations one comes across. Possibly some funny and fictional travel relationship stories woven in.
What I got: well over 50% of the book is a depressing and meandering novel fraught with unresolved mental health problems and actual violence that warrant trigger warnings, and completely do not jibe with the cover art or description of the book. The second 50% highlights a passive, immature man who needs therapy and becomes super annoying in his dufus-y approach to bachelorhood and fatherhood.
This book has only the slightest passing connection to the Airbnb hosting experience, and isn’t an interesting novel in and of itself. Not charming, not super, sorry, not sorry.
