This is absolutely one of the funniest novels I have ever had the pleasure or reading, let alone editing, and I cannot wait for you all to meet Patch, Jean, Peter and Sam in the hilariously Romantic Tragedies of A Drama King !! Proofs available :))
First there was Bridget Jones. Then there was Georgia Nicolson. Now, get ready to meet Patch Simmons... THE ROMANTIC TRAGEDIES OF A DRAMA KING is the hilarious new romcom coming soon from actor and comedian @harrytrevaldwyn. Pre-order here: exyu.short.gy/esJvwp
