Extremely cute and sweet. Genuine with its message. It didn’t feel like the fourth wall broke and I was being preached at, but it also addressed the relevant topics openly. Just a simple little story with great illustrations. The facial expressions were great and the fashion was 🤌 magnifique.

I think this story could be viewed in so many different ways but the thing that it absolutely is is queer. Sebastian’s gender identity and Frances’ sexuality are anything other than cis and straight. I do however not feel fully satisfied with the result. Queer historical fiction is something I never really like, as it more often than not has far too much representation of outing and trauma and trans/homophobia in order to make moments not like this appear happy. This book was very dark for a middle-grade book, and I guess I just so much prefer books full of queer joy than books like this, which still had a happy ending, but at what cost?
