About this listen
A hilarious, engaging 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…
A Macmillan Audio production from Roaring Brook Press.

★"The dynamic between the roommates sizzles with electricity and tension... [A] vibrant love letter to trans readers."—Booklist, starred review
"Page Powars books always sparkle with witty humor and so much heart! I had such a blast with this fresh new take on a boarding school story. To channel Charlie, I would say roses are red, violets are blue, I loved this book... and I think you will, too!"—Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of With Love, from Cold World
"And They Were Roommates is a joyously tropey, campy while also deeply relevant romance with an incredible cast of characters to fall in love with."—Jonny Garza Villa, award-winning author of Ander & Santi Were Here

Noah Byrd is the perfect boy. At least, that’s what he needs to convince his new classmates of to prove his gender. His plan? Join the school’s illustrious (and secret) Borrow a Boyfriend Club, whose members rent themselves out for dates. Once he’s accepted among the bros, the “slip-ups” end. But Noah’s interview is a flop. Desperate, he strikes a deal with the club’s prickly but attractive president, Asher. Noah will help them win an annual talent show—and in return, he’ll get a second shot to demonstrate his boyfriend skills in a series of tests that include romancing Asher himself.

After being run out of his castle by vampire hunters, Count Lucian encounters the god of vampires, Vrykolakas, while in hiding. Unhappy with how many vampires have been bested by hunters, Vrykolakas gives Lucian a test: Infiltrate the future duke’s marriage games as a suitor and uncover the clandestine vampire hunters Vrykolakas suspects lurk in their midst.

If Lucian succeeds, Vrykolakas will make him the most powerful vampire in existence.
