This was a cute, quick, and feel good read. I loved Sebastien and Frances and Emile. There wasn’t really any characterization to any of the other characters. I could get a little bit of a feel for their personalities through how they were drawn, but aside from that they had no real personalities and I didn’t connect with any of them.

I absolutely adored the illustrations of dresses. For me, that was the shining crown. They were gorgeous and creative and I could have drowned in Jen Wang's dress designs and died happy.

The book was very fast paced, and I flew through it. At times it almost felt too fast, and I felt myself wanting a little more. I think I could read several books about Sebastien and Frances and still want more.

In the end it was super sweet and heart warming and the perfect fluffy read.
