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 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.
I Want To Kiss You In Public is a story about friendship, self-love, truth and heartbreak, sprinkled with comedy.
