Mélissa Da Costa is the most read author in France, in first place previously occupied by Guillaume Musso. And for good reason: each new novel is a success. The beautiful story began with All the blue of the sky — the work was first released self-published, then was taken up by a small publishing house, and finally the edition by Le Livre de Poche ensured its place as a bestseller.
