I liked that this book was very body positive (at least in regards to the type of bodies one might find in a "Gentlemans" club), and I liked the glimpses of teacher life in France, and the inner workings of the night club life. The plot didn't go where it probably would have gone if it were an American novel, which I am very thankful for.
It was a short and easy read, but the shortness means you don't get enough of the side characters- and there are so many that it was hard to remember all of them (like the student that shows up at the club with his dad), and I read this in two days so I feel like they should have stuck with me more.
Looking forward to discussing this with book club tonight!
