This was a quick, lighthearted read. I enjoyed the drawings, the insight into the character’s feelings, and the connection between the two main characters, as well as the theme: BE YOURSELF AND DO NOT FEEL GUILTY.

I did really like the book and would have given it a higher rating but I also wanted to consider the fact that this book is not written by a author who is part of the LQBTQIA+ community.

“My whole life is other people deciding what's acceptable. When I put on a dress, I get to decide what's silly.”
 - The Prince and the Dressmaker

Tropes: Royalty, Friends to Lovers
Representation: Genderqueer/genderfluid
CW: Homophobia, Forced Outing

This book brought me so much joy. I adored the narrative of acceptance and becoming comfortable in your own skin. The slow-burn friends to lovers romance stole my heart, and the detail with the dress illustrations was absolutely amazing.
