I gobbled up
Super Host, Kate Russo's
smart, funny, and surprising first novel. She writes with such a
generous and insightful eye about
love, loneliness and artistic ambition, and has redrawn the lines that connect people in fiction through the most modern and unlikely of settings, the home share. * Jess Walter *
Kate Russo's debut
Super Host is
pure delight-smart, fun, poignant, and deeply satisfying. I loved it * Lily King *
Super Host isn't just a
charming, compulsively readable,
romantically suspenseful novel about
a lonely man who gets himself emotionally enmeshed with a series of short-term tenants. Kate Russo's
wise and funny debut also has a lot to say about the courage it takes to start over in the middle of your life. It's
a joy from start to finish. * Tom Perrotta *
