Plot

[edit]

Léo thinks kissing is the grossest thing ever. At summer camp, he and his friends can't help but giggle and mock the couples who lock lips, their shiny, pink mouths making it impossible to look away. But while Léo plays along, he hides a secret: his own lips have started to shimmer too. Deep down, Léo is curious—he might just want to try kissing for himself. As his heart and mind wrestle with the "yuck" and the "yes," Léo’s summer becomes a journey of self-discovery, where teasing turns into longing and where the line between "ew" and "ooh" begins to blur.
