Description
A hilarious, unputdownable second-chance-romance about the most unlikely, gay roommate mishap. Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Gwen & Art Are Not in Love.
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 first. 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…

AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES is the follow-up to Powars's debut that we all needed, and one that cements him as a fresh, big-hearted, and FUN voice in YA romance. The tension between Charlie and Jasper is palpable, thanks to the backstory of their summer camp fling + the high stakes Charlie feels about keeping his cover at his boarding school. Valentine Academy feels like a real place, the cast of characters is just as specific and ridiculous as in THE BORROW A BOYFRIEND CLUB (Blaze Alpha Destroyer can do no wrong), and the plot is page-turning enough for even the most reluctant reader. Heists to deliver secret love letters?! Say no more! This sophomore novel will delight loyal and new fans alike.
