She has written essays for her class, and with the encouragement of her Lycee teacher she decides to explore a world that is alien to her.

No searches for jobs and eventually lands a spot as a hotel chambermaid.

When Lou arrives home, she notices that her mother, Anouk, appears listless and detached, still suffering from the unexpected loss of Lou’s baby sister, Chloe, years before. After Chloe’s death, Anouk spent time in a psychiatric hospital while Lou attended a boarding school. Now that both have returned to Paris, Lou feels compelled to earn her mother’s affection and approval, but Anouk remains distant. At school, Lou gradually makes a friend named Lucas, who seems academically disengaged but is kind-hearted and supportive.

Home is not a warm place; her baby sister died years ago, her mother struggles with depression and her father is often away for work. Thus, it is unsurprising that it is Lou who needs No - while No, despite caring about Lou, is ever-conscience of their different places in society and knows that they could never have a 'normal' friendship. Different worksheets with main quotes from the chapters to analyse or questions that lead your students to analyse And here in No et Moi we have an endearing protagonist who battles to overcome these stipulations.A n admirable one-girl-band, Lou reminds us the importance of grit, the unconditional quality of a beautiful friendship and also the need to realize that les choses ne doivent pas être ce qu'elles sont - things do not always need to be what 'they are.'Later, Lou finds No and tells her about the project, getting No’s blessing to share what they discuss. Over time, Lou learns about the reality of life for women who live on the streets: No explains that these women were often abused or lost their jobs. Speaking about this injustice, No tells Lou that she wants her presentation to spread this truth and create compassion for homeless women. No briefly delves into her own story, mentioning that she went into foster care at age twelve. It becomes immediately clear to Lou that the older girl does not have a good relationship with her family, but she does not learn much more, as No refuses to dwell on her life story. Lou and No arrange to meet again after the presentation is finished, so Lou can tell No about how it went.

When faced with an upcoming presentation for her social and economic sciences class, our young yet fiercely intelligent protagonist Lou decides to interview No, a homeless girl - or, as the French call it: une femme sans domicile fixé (SDF) - to discover what life on the streets entails.
