Filled with just as much laugh-out-loud humor as The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King, I Can't Believe I Don't Have a Boyfriend is the poignant second novel in the Patch Simmons duology.
Days have passed since Patch and Sam had their first kiss, but somehow, Patch still doesn't officially have a boyfriend. To make matters worse, it seems everyone around him is preoccupied with romance-Flora has a new crush, Jean is acting strangely about the boy she's tutoring, and even Patch's mum has been smiling with alarming frequency at her phone. No matter, he has a plan: all Patch has to do is prove to Sam what a romantic he is, and he won't be able to help but fall in love (obviously).
Except, when Sam and Patch are placed on different teams for the town's short-film competition, it looks like there's going to be a lot more distance between them than he'd initially planned. And a lot less distance between him and Sam's best friend, Peter, who only recently confessed his undying love (okay, maybe a slight exaggeration) for Patch. It's getting harder to ignore the butterflies Patch feels whenever they spend time together, but he and Sam are perfect for each other-aren't they?
Patch basically has a boyfriend now, but get ready for him to embark on an even bigger challenge. . . keeping him.
