Bloomsbury presents Boy Friends by Kai Spellmeier, read by Kishore Walker and Alex Wingfield

SIMO AND LUCA ARE IN LOVE

Luca has loved Simo for as long as he can remember. But confessing? That could ruin everything. And in their tiny, cosier-than-cosy seaside town, there would be nowhere to hide.

Then an anonymous post on the community noticeboard blows his secret wide open – and suddenly, everyone is shipping them hard. Luca and Simo have no choice but to face the truth. Will they risk it all for love – or lose each other for ever?

Get ready for a heart-flipping, swoon-worthy story about friendship, courage and the kind of love that changes everything. Perfect for fans of Alice Oseman and Sophie Gonzales.
