The Borrow a Boyfriend Club

The Borrow a Boyfriend Club by Page Powars is a heartwarming and hilarious young adult romantic comedy centred around sixteen-year-old Noah, a trans boy on a mission to ensure his new school perceives him as his true gender. In a clever and heartfelt twist, Noah decides to join the school's secretive Borrow a Boyfriend Club, where members rent themselves out as dates to their classmates for various needs, be it impressing friends, making an ex jealous, or securing a prom date.

Noah's confidence takes a hit when he fails the club's audition. Determined to join, he strikes a deal with the club’s prickly yet intriguing president, Asher. Noah agrees to lead the nearly bankrupt club to victory at the school's fundraising dance competition in exchange for the chance to prove his boyfriend skills through a series of tests. These tests include romancing Asher himself, a task that starts off as a mere agreement but begins to feel surprisingly genuine as Noah passes each challenge.

As the fake romance grows deeper and more authentic, Noah finds himself entangled in a precarious dilemma. If he cannot secure a win at the dance competition, the Borrow a Boyfriend Club faces bankruptcy, and Noah risks losing not only the new friendships he has fostered but also revealing to the school that he isn’t "boy enough." Conversely, should Noah succeed, he must abide by the club's unbreakable rule: no real girlfriends or boyfriends allowed.

Poignant and funny, The Borrow a Boyfriend Club uniquely captures the struggle and triumphs of a young trans boy navigating identity, friendship, and love. Perfect for fans of Only Mostly Devastated and Red, White & Royal Blue, this novel offers a delightful exploration of self-acceptance and the unexpected detours on the road to true love. Will Noah take the ultimate risk of breaking the club rules for a chance at genuine love?
