About this Event
Literati is thrilled to welcome author Page Powars to celebrate the paperback release of his novel, And They Were Roommates. He'll be joined in conversation by Caroline Huntoon.
About The Book:
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…
Page Powars is the New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Indie bestselling author of But I Hate Him, And They Were Roommates, and more gay books for both teenagers and adults. He was raised by video game lore that requires stringboard analyses to understand. He lives in Brooklyn with his partner.
Caroline Huntoon (they/them) is a nonbinary storyteller and educator. Their novels include Skating on Mars, Linus and Etta Could Use a Win, and Going Overboard, all from Feiwel and Friends/Macmillan. Find out more about Caroline and their work at CarolineHuntoon.com.
