100% of affiliate revenue supports Andromeda's Fragments

A hilarious, unputdownable 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…

[February Reading Recap!](https://buffyreads.binderybooks.com/item/Rq2jWefkWbzDywoMY0Al/)

February Reading Recap! This month was me falling behind in my reading goal (L) but also getting back into reading webnovels again (W)! I finally found my rhythm again and am reading so many new stories!

I feel behind reading this months new releases but in March I will be fixing that and catching up on my arcs as well! I also need to add more sapphic novellas to my tbr because I currently have a ton of MM romance novellas on my TBR that are my sweet treats when I'm reading longer books.

I will be posting a March TBR / New Releases post soon and some more cool posts for y'all!

As Pride Month approaches, I wanted to share one of my all-time favorite YA romances that’s perfect for Pride Month: And They Were Roommates by Page Powars. I finished ATWR in 2025, and it remains one of the funniest, most delightful, and most welcoming stories I’ve read. 🥰\\
\\
The paperback of ATWR just released on May 26, and Page’s next YA romcom, But I Hate Him, releases in August. It’s the perfect time to pick up ATWR for your Pride Month TBR (and preorder But I Hate Him!). 🥳\\
