I would like to thank St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for inviting me to review a free e-ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King wasn't the greatest book I ever read, but it's not bad. One of the shining points of the book is that it's absolutely hysterical and I just couldn't stop laughing at some of the hijinks that Patch finds himself in throughout the book. The characters were easy enough to like and there's some meaningful character development that occurs in Patch. However, the writing, while absolutely funny at times, wasn't as memorable when Trevaldwyn isn't trying to make the reader laugh.
Nevertheless, if you want a British YA rom-com that will have you almost laughing your butt off and you're fine with books that have decent writing styles, you may like The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King. However, if you find main characters that constantly contradict themselves in every other chapter, you might want to reconsider if this is the book for you.
