*An Instant New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Indie Bestseller*

"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...
