About this listen

Two roommates. One secret. A lot of love letters. To All The Boys I've Loved Before meets Young Royals in this heartwarming and hilarious queer boarding school rom-com.

When Charlie joins Valentine Academy for Boys, love is the last thing on his mind. His only plan is to survive the school year with perfect grades and no one discovering that he's trans. Especially his roommate, Jasper; a famous poet and Charlie's ex-camp romance who doesn't seem to recognise him. Yet.

The boys make a deal; Jasper will request a new room if Charlie helps him deliver secret love letters between the boys at Valentine and the girls at its sister academy.

But as Jasper tutors him in the art of romance, will Charlie be able to keep from falling in love himself?

Critic reviews

Powars once again proves he's a force to be reckoned with. No one does comedy like Page Powars. Hilarious, heartfelt, and unhinged. (Sophie Gonzales, bestselling co-author of IF THIS GETS OUT)

very charming, cute, and funny, I enjoyed every moment. I always liked the "they were roommates" trope, and I love the way this was written and narrated!

absolutely loved the narration and the story, super cute

the author has definitely been inspired by some other books from the genre, i can see hints of them in some of the key moments, but not in a plagiarism way,

cute read, recommend if you’re looking for something sweet to keep you occupied

cute!

maybe this just isn’t my genre but i found the humour very annoying, like the characters are all in a disney channel show or something. also i feel like everyone was pretty one dimensional

overall okay
