Book cover of I Want To Kiss You In Public

Book description

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…

Why read it?

1 author picked I Want To Kiss You In Public as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Louis lives his life always on. He dresses like a rockstar but doesn’t play an instrument. He’s trying to be someone to everyone, and he doesn’t really know who he is until he meets Michael—the new kid.

Louis has a girlfriend, so he’s confused about the feelings he starts to have for Michael. This coming out happens slowly at first, then all at once. Louis is a neurodivergent character, and I really enjoyed his journey of self-discovery.

From Elizabeth's list on YA LGBTQIA coming out.
