“A vibrant story that’s perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston”—People
"[A]n achingly cute romance that’s hard to put down." —Rolling Stone
You can't resist this hilarious, unputdownable second-chance-romance about the most unlikely, gay roommate mishap.
Romance is the last thing on Charlie’s mind.
On his first day at Valentine Academy for Boys, Charlie’s carefully crafted plan to hide his identity as the school’s only trans student is set in motion. Only to be immediately destroyed. Charlie has been assigned the worst roommate in the world (possibly the universe): Jasper Grimes, the boy who broke Charlie’s heart the year before he transitioned.
Except, Jasper doesn’t recognize Charlie.
Who knows how long until Jasper realizes the truth? Charlie has one shot at freedom—and a dorm room all to himself—but only if he helps Jasper write love letters on behalf of their fellow students. No problem. Charlie can help Jasper with some silly letters.
Long nights spent discussing deep romantic feelings with Jasper? Surely, no unintended consequences will arise…
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.
