Description

‘The funniest person on the internet has written the book everyone needs!’ – Jameela Jamil

The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is the hilarious YA rom-com debut from actor and comedian Harry Trevaldwyn, perfect for fans of Heartstopper.

First there was Bridget Jones. Then there was Georgia Nicolson. Now get ready to meet Patch Simmons . . .

Patch has decided that this is the year he will get a boyfriend. Fate finally intervenes when two new mysterious boys join drama club: Peter, who’s just moved from New York (very chic) and his best friend, Sam.

Patch is confident that one of them will be his first boyfriend. So, armed with his over-supportive best friend Jean and an alarming level of self-confidence, Patch sets out to make his mission a success. Whether or not they actually like boys or him is a problem for later.

Readers are falling head over heels for Patch . . .

“I stayed up late to read it and found myself – on EVERY SINGLE PAGE – cackling out loud to no one.” – Reader review

“I absolutely loved Patch and didn’t want this book to ever end. I laughed out loud at so many parts of this book.” – Reader review

“I had so much fun with this book” – Reader review

“This book is perfect for anyone who enjoys a good laugh, a cute romance, and characters who aren’t afraid to be themselves.” – Reader review

We are celebrating International Mother Tongue Day by shining a light on some of our favourite translated fiction, to remind you of the wide range of cultures and heritages we get to experience not only in our wonderful city of Manchester, but in the wider world of fiction!

If you'd like to know more about what activities you can get involved in around the city to immerse yourself in some of the 200 languages spoken in Greater Manchester, check out the City of Literature event page in our bio!

Principal Bookseller Leah wants you all to pick up Shon Faye's paperback release, 'Love in Exile' this February!
'This book examines love as a capitalist commodity, designed to cure every ailment and solve every woe. Much like bell hooks, Faye considers love to be a verb, a choice, and maybe something many have been forced to experience in exile.'
