The Borrow a Boyfriend Club

A feel-good, refreshing contemporary YA romance from debut author Page Powars that follows a trans boy who starts at a new school and joins a boyfriend borrowing service masquerading as an Italian Club to prove that he’s one of the boys.

When sixteen-year-old Noah Byrd starts fresh at a new school, he has the perfect plan to ensure the students see him as his true gender: join the school’s illustrious [and secret] Borrow a Boyfriend Club, where members rent themselves out to their classmates for dates. The endless “slip-ups” that plagued him before will be old news once he establishes himself in the club.

Unfortunately, he fails the questionably rigorous interview process. Desperate, he strikes a deal with the club’s prickly but attractive president, Asher—Noah will help lead the nearly-bankrupt club to victory at the school’s popular talent show, and Asher will allow him to demonstrate his boyfriend skills in a series of tests that include romancing Asher himself. 

If Noah can’t help the club’s members win the show, their whole operation shuts down, squashing his best chance at showing the whole school that he’s “boy enough.” But if Noah succeeds in securing the club their victory, he still loses. Because the most important, unbreakable rule of the Borrow a Boyfriend Club is simple: no real boyfriends (or girlfriends) allowed.

And as long as the Borrow a Boyfriend Club is still standing as high as Asher’s man bun, they can never explore the feelings growing between them.
