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, who’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 So armed with his single mum’s outdated self-help books, his over-supportive best friend Jean and an alarming level of self-confidence, Patch is confident that this mission will be a complete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.

Reviews
"The story succeeds as a sweet romance while also subverting expectations and giving equal weight to the importance of friendships in a thoughtful and moving way...A winning debut: the perfect blend of hilarious and heartfelt." - Kirkus (starred review)
"This reads like a car wreck sitcom: impossible to look away from in the best way possible. It is difficult to imagine fans of Heartstopper not loving Patch and his larger-than-life personality on the quest for love." - School Library Journal (starred review)
"Actor Trevaldwyn crafts a sparkling debut starring an aspiring teen actor living in small-town England." - Publishers Weekly
"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
