Ellie knows better than to rely on her fairy godfather, but she’s desperate enough to risk asking him for help. The trouble is, Mortimer isn’t feeling very helpful. In fact, he’s downright irritated…After a bit of vengeful fairy magic, Ellie discovers that webbed feet and green skin are even harder to manage than beauty.

Will Ellie find a way to break her curse and live happily ever after? Or will she spend the rest of her life eating flies and living in a pond at the back of the palace garden?

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 snarky, 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.
Hilarious and endearing, I Want To Kiss You In Public is the first entry in the LGBTQ+ coming-of-age romance series Colette International, where students from a private high school find love and friendship while dealing with their personal issues.
