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
