*** A gorgeous queer love story for anyone who’s ever got into a pool with their shirt on. Don’t miss the film adaptation, now on Netflix ***
‘I loved it so much, I read it all in one day. It’s so adorable.’
– Alice Oseman, author of Heartstopper
‘I love this book!’
– Rainbow Rowell, author of Carry On
‘… a tender, funny, absolutely heart-holding novel about a boy who is forced to share his room with his lifelong crush for fifteen days. It’s a gay romance that would have changed my world if I’d read it as a teen.’
– David Levithan, author of Every Day
***
Felipe just wanted a quiet summer binge-watching musicals and finishing his TBR pile – the perfect break from the classmates who tease him incessantly. So, he’s horrified to discover that Caio, his lifelong crush, will be staying with them for fifteen days . . .
Suddenly, the days ahead of him that once promised rest and relaxation end up bringing a whirlwind of feelings, forcing Felipe to dive head-first into every unresolved issue he has had with himself – but maybe, just maybe, he’ll manage to win over Caio, too.
This body-positive queer love story is about the assumptions we make about each other, and the bravery you need to be yourself.

‘It’s a sweet, funny, warm-hearted gem of a story – exactly the sort of thing the world needs right now!’
– Simon James Green, author of Noah Can’t Even
