Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins

*** 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

Vitor Martins was born in Rio de Janeiro, and currently live in São Paulo. His first novel Quinze Dias was published in 2017 - and is now translated into English by Larissa Helena.

Vitor believes diversity is a powerful weapon, and his main goal as a writer is to tell the story of people who have never been able to see themselves in a book. He also has a YouTube channel, a cat called Clarêncio, eats more pizza than he should and, unlike most of his writing friends, likes a nice early night.
