Publisher Description
Oh my god, they were roommates . . . Young Royals meets To All The Boys I've Loved Before in this heartwarming and hilarious queer exes-to-lovers boarding school romance about two roommates, one secret and a lot of love letters.
'No one does comedy like Page Powars. Hilarious, heartfelt, and unhinged.' - Sophie Gonzales, bestselling co-author of If This Gets Out
When Charlie transfers from high school to Valentine Academy for Boys, love is the last thing on his mind. His plan is to survive the school year with perfect grades and no one discovering he's trans. Especially his new roommate Jasper - Sexiest Poet of the Year and the only boy to break Charlie's heart.
Miraculously, his ex-summer-camp romance doesn't recognise him, and the two boys make a deal: Jasper will request a new room if Charlie helps him deliver secret love letters between the boys at Valentine and the girls at its sister academy.
But as Jasper tutors him in the art of romance, will Charlie be able to keep himself from falling in love again?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Academic and interpersonal pressures at a new school throw a wrench in a transgender teen's plans in this clever second-chance romance from Powars (The Borrow a Boyfriend Club). Charlie von Hevringprinz's intention to hide the fact that he's trans from his classmates at prestigious, conservative Valentine Academy for Boys is jeopardized when he learns his roommate is Jasper Grimes, the boy who kissed and ghosted him before he transitioned two summers ago. Though Jasper doesn't recognize him, Charlie's not in the clear, as Jasper seems determined to learn everything about Charlie. Already overwhelmed by maintaining the academic standing required to retain his scholarship, Charlie reluctantly agrees to the principal's urging to help with the school's tutoring program, which turns out to be a cover; the group's real purpose is to craft and secretly deliver love letters to the adjoining girls' school. As one of the group members, Jasper offers Charlie a deal: Jasper will move out of their room if Charlie helps him write the letters. Realistic teenage drama as well as memorable characters and their genuine relationships elevate the silly hijinks of this pleasantly crafted rom-com. Main characters read as white. Ages 14–up.
