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, they're close enough that Louis grows increasingly confused. Michael's presence in his life makes him question everything: his lifestyle, his friendships, and whether he actually ever liked girls.
In this coming out story, Louis, an anxious and cynical student at an international high school, struggles to admit the truth to himself and his loved ones as he comes to terms with his sexuality. Will he find the courage to accept who is he before it's too late?
I Want To Kiss You In Public is a story about friendship, love, truth and heartbreak, with a hint of over-the-top comedy, suitable for fans of Skam, Sex Education, Heartstopper and Boyfriend Material.
