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

The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is the hilarious rom-com debut
from rising star Harry Trevaldwyn, perfect for fans of Heartstopper. Patch has decided that this is the year he will get a boyfriend, so it's goodbye to his French pen-pal Jean-Pierre and hello to the world!

Unfortunately, the only other "out" boys in his school year are dating each other, so finding a boyfriend isn't going to be easy . . . Until fate finally intervenes and 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.

The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud comedy about boldly being yourself and never losing sight of who truly has your back.

Industry Reviews
One of the funniest, warmest YAs to be published this decade. -- Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller *

My favourite genre of book is 'Charming Lunatic Complains About Life,' and this is a wonderful entry. Funny and full of heart, Patch is up there with the great whingers Adrian Mole, Georgia Nicolson, and Bridget Jones. -- Monica Heisey, bestselling author of Really Good, Actually

The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is nothing short of perfect, a joy from start to finish. Patch is Gen Alpha's Adrian Mole. -- Rebecca Humphries

Funny, voicey and fresh. Patch makes Georgia Nicolson seem demure and composed -- Elle McNicoll, author of Some Like it Cold

A rarity of a novel that had me laughing out loud from the very first page. I loved it. -- Tanya Reynolds

Beyond hilarious and totally brilliant! I dare you not to be immediately obsessed with Patch and his story. Fair warning: it'll have you laughing out loud the entire way through! The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is spectacular and dazzling debut, filled with so much heart, humour and warmth, it is THE perfect teen romcom! A total delight to read. -- Beth Reekles, bestselling author of The Kissing Booth
