Synopsis

This program is read by the author.

Heartstopper meets Derry Girls in this wonderfully hilarious rom-com about finding your first love when your personality might be too big for the world around you.

Patch Simmons 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, whoโ€™s just moved from New York (very chic) and his best friend, Sam.

Patch is confident that one of them (although either of them will do!) will be his first boyfriend. So armed with his single mumโ€™s outdated self-help books, his over-supportive best friend Jean and an alarming level of self-confidence, Patch is confident that this mission will be a complete 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 from rising star Harry Trevaldwyn, a story about boldly being yourself, going for what you want, but never losing sight of who truly has your back.

A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

Goodreads review by Sheree on February 22, 2025

The vibe falls squarely in the middle of the unusual Venn diagram between Adrian Mole and Bridget Jones (but very, very gay). I was quickly endeared to the ridiculous Patch, more than I could have anticipated. The predictable rom-com plot is given new life with Patchโ€™s entertaining narration and a c......more

Goodreads review by Bookworm Express on February 08, 2025

Oh, how I love when the main character is main-charactering. Patch is the It boy, he is the MOMENT. Throw him them roses! Trust me when I say youโ€™ll be INVESTED in all of his teen drama and romantic tragedies. While he definitely deserves to be called a king, his rising star has not yet been acknowl......more
