I Want To Kiss You In Public

If you ask Louis, he's a rock star. 

Just the right amount of sarcastic, 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.

Alternating between hilarious and touching scenes, I Want To Kiss You In Public takes its resolutely flawed protagonist onto his path of growth while remaining entertaining throughout. The first volume in this series of interconnected standalones, this novel combines the lightheartedness of Heartstopper with the sharp wit of Boyfriend Material.
