The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King
by Harry Trevaldwyn
Oh, how I love when the main character is main-charactering. Patch is the It boy, he is the MOMENT. Throw him them roses! Trust me when I say you’ll be INVESTED in all of his teen drama and romantic tragedies.
While he definitely deserves to be called a king, his rising star has not yet been acknowledged by the world around him. So Patrick takes matters at hand. He revamps his image, tries to convince everyone to call him Patch, and sets the goal to find himself a boyfriend. And lo and behold, not one, but TWO potential suitors show up at his drama classes. Oh my!
I loved how Patch was so young and self centered, dramatic and shallow, fabulous and flawed, but all in good nature. He genuinely dreams big and knows what he wants - or so he thinks. A romantic at heart. I’m convinced all readers can relate as we all have more or less gone through that phase at age sixteen, even though we tend to forget and try to pretend we’ve always been sensible and cool growing up.
And like all superheroes, Patch has his own sidekick.
Patch’ best friend Jean is like Robin to Batman. Jean’s an ally, a wingwoman, someone who wouldn’t bat an eye to put herself in situations to save Patch from embarrassing himself (which was often). She was a much needed crisis manager, a moral support, and shoulder to cry on.
The cast consisted of many, many great characters - no matter their role in the story, you’ll fall in love with them, because they either help Patch in his pursuit of love or stress him out as a good nemesis (or older sister) befit.
The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King was a great book for its hilarious writing, the low stakes drama, and the details the author put into the characters. This might not be one of those life-changing books for me, but I’m sure Patch will inspire many readers.
