Schitt's Creek meets The Princess Bride, in this adorable cozy fantasy, perfect for fans of Legends and Lattes and The Baby Dragon Cafe! 'Hilarious and heartfelt' JAMIE PACTON
'Bromantasy asks the age old question of
"Fellas, is it gay to pine after your homie for a decade before having to confront it while on a magical quest?"' ★★★★★ 'Chock full of cosiness, fun, found family, skincare mishaps, and totally platonic wrestling with a bro that Juniper definitely doesn't want to kiss' AUGUST BLOOM
'Part quest shenanigans, part squabbling royals, part part found family, and fully queer delight' ★★★★★ 'A deliciously cozy fantasy romp' REBECCA PODOS ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ?????????? Two heroes. One brain cell. Fellas, is it OK to kiss your bff while on a quest through the forest you're unqualified for? Juniper O'Reilly is good at only two things: demolishing a pint of mead and finding the perfect skincare routine. Everything else - taking care of the farm, bartering for goods, any sort of manual labour - falls to Juniper's best friend, the absurdly capable, endlessly patient Mo Elmthorn. But when Juniper accidentally volunteers them both for a quest to kill a fearsome monster, he knows he's finally gotten in over his head. Juniper hates camping, he hates the dark, and there's no way all these foraged mushrooms are going to sit well in his stomach. One thing he doesn't hate? How good Mo's thighs look in his questing pants - he doesn't have time to think about that, though, with a monster to hunt and their futures on the line. But monsters come in all shapes and sizes. When Juniper and Mo realize that the terrifying beast they've sworn to kill is just a scared little girl torn from her family, they're off to find not only the true villain of the story, but maybe even a happy ending. Thou must read if thou cherish: 👬Totally platonic best friends that just happen to enjoy wrestling with each other . 💖 Idiots to lovers 💞 Golden retriever x black cat energy 🔮 Cosy fantasy worlds 🧝 Impossible quests 🐲 Dragons (both fearsome and cute) 🤣 Laugh-out-loud romances Readers are ENCHANTED by Bromantasy: 'Pure comedy gold' ★★★★★ 'Down bad dimwits-to-lovers, chock full of lamentable yearning, dragon halflings, pants on fire, and locally sourced lard for moisturization. Legolas and Gimli walked so these queer DINKWAC's could run' ★★★★★ 'A campy, queer romantasy that delivers humor, heart, and a happily ever after without taking itself too seriously' ★★★★★ 'Delightful and hilarious' ★★★★★ 'The storyline is so much fun, and the characters are easily lovable' ★★★★★ 'A rollicking good time' ★★★★★ 'Silly and whimsical' ★★★★★ 'AHHH this book was absolutely hilarious.funny, snarky and entertaining' ★★★★★
