‘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 . . .

The teenagers in our club loved reading this! It felt so wholesome and fun for them to read and discuss the drama that the characters had! It was such a good read for them to get started with in our book club. Patch was such a loveable character and the students really felt his emotions and chaos of his life quite strongly as they read. We had such lovely discussions about following dreams and coming across problems, how best to deal or cope with them. It was a great read and we highly reccomend it to other teenage groups!
