I Want to Kiss You in Public: a Coming of Age, Gay Romance Novel International Book

Louis thought he had it all figured out. He couldn’t have been more wrong.If you ask Louis, he’s a rock star.Just the right amount of snarky, cute, and only slightly delusional. He attends the best high school — in Paris no less — has the coolest best friend and the fiercest girlfriend, and he’s absolutely, a hundred per cent straight.So no; Michael, the new British student, with his dark curls and sweet smiles, doesn’t interest him whatsoever. And when a teacher pairs the two to write an essay together and Louis gets all worked up about it, he can always tell himself he doesn’t have a choice.Slowly and inevitably, the two of them become friends, and perhaps a little more. Soon, Michael’s presence in Louis’s life makes him question everything: his lifestyle, his friendships, and whether he actually ever liked girls.Hilarious and endearing, I Want To Kiss You In Public is the first entry in the LGBTQ+ coming-of-age romance series Colette International, where students from a private high school find love and friendship while dealing with their personal issues. Positively reviewed for its realistic portrayal of messy teenagers and its snappy dialogue, this novel is a quick and uplifting read.Content warnings are available at the beginning of the book.
