I Want to Kiss You in Public: A Gay Coming of Age Romance Novel | Zelda French
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Have you ever been so attracted to someone, that nothing makes sense anymore? If you'd ask him, Louis, a Senior at an International High School in Paris, would tell you he's got a pretty good idea of how the world works, that he's got it covered. He even thinks himself a bit of a rockstar. His best friend Tony, a self-proclaimed prophet, and his girlfriend Lucie, as short as she is dangerous, are everything to him. He will tell you himself: he's got it all figured out. That's until a teacher unimpressed with his antics pairs him up to write an essay with Michael, the new British guy. Michael's just another boring student in a class of boring people, and the thought of having to spend time with him is almost unbearable... until they get to know each other and suddenly all of Louis's convictions are shaken to the core. Now, Louis is straight, he's sure of it. But is he, really? Because before long, he's obsessing about Michael's dark curls, thinking of his lips against his, and running around town crashing parties to get his attention. . What to do then, when your carefully crafted identity is challenged, stomped on, then basically thrown out the window? Is Michael even worth all the heartache and chaos? For Louis, there's only one way to find out, even if it costs him everything. Will Louis find the courage to admit the truth and accept who is he before it's too late? I Want To Kiss You In Public is a story about Love, Friendship, Truth and Heartbreak, packed with funny dialogue, and comes with its own Spotify Rock Playlist. This book contains drug and alcohol consumption as well as cursing.

Someone watched Skam and thought they could do it in book form. It does not work.

I don't have the patience for toxic teenage friendship. There were too many characters, the MC had no personality, the relationship was forced and I was bored.

This was another light mood-lifter. Set in a French highschool where all the classes are taught in English. Lou acts like he's too cool for everyone 😎 until a new British student arrives and disrupts it all. Lou can't figure out why he cares so much about what Michael thinks of him, but doesn't want to lose his two best friends by getting closer to him.
It's a cute story about figuring out your identity and dealing with anxiety.
