“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…

    Okay this was so cute, I devoured it all in one sitting. There were some cringe and weird factors in this like that fact that a 16 year old is world’s sexiest poet?? Honestly it would have worked just as well without all the mentions of two different 16 year olds being world famous poets who already sold millions of copies of their books. But I didn’t care I still ate it up because Charlie and Jasper were honestly so adorable I loved them. I didn’t know anything about this going into it so I did assume it was about adults not 16 year olds at boarding school. But I’m so glad I still read it because I loved their story.
