About this listen

Read by the author, Harry Trevaldwyn.

"One of the funniest, warmest YAs to be published this decade." - Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller

"Beyond hilarious and totally brilliant ... filled with so much heart, humour and warmth, it is THE perfect teen romcom! A total delight to read." - Beth Reekles, bestselling author of The Kissing Booth

"Funny, voicey and fresh . . ." - Elle McNicoll, author of Some Like it Cold

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.

"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

I finished this in about two days. It's a really sweet story about Harry navigating finding his first love. It's witty, heart-warming, and told excellently. I loved some of the descriptions in this book, and the scene setting. I also found Harry irritating his exasperated teachers very amusing.

I think I lost focus towards the end slightly, and maybe some of it could've been cut back in the final edit because it feels slightly drawn out, but it doesn't ruin the entire book or anything. I would recommend to anyone looking for something chill to read.

Really heart-warming and easy listen

Like it says in the acknowledgements, romance books are not usually for me. Despite that, I loved this book. So funny, great story, spot on narration Togo throughout. Where's the next one?!

Great story, even better narration!

Genuinely cannot remember the last time a book made me laugh out loud so much. An absolutely brilliant story with a really lovely lead character; I normally struggle to connect with ‘awkward’ characters but Patch is so loveable and well-written that I’m sad I finished it so quickly. I think it’s really helped by the author providing the narration because he brings his creation to life wonderfully.

Full of laugh out loud moments!

I think the sign of a good book is when you feel strong emotions about something in it, and it was the case here. It was funny, it was soulful and at times quite annoying. The acknowledgement was right too - you may think that something like that won’t be for you but trust me, you would enjoy this

Annoyingly fun
