the book follows sebestian, a prince who happens to like wearing dresses and eventually finding the perfect seamtress to style his dresses for him. 

this book absolutely defies gender norms by having not only the main character but multiple other men (varying in body sizes, example: a buff guys wears a dress at the end). the romance aspect of this was so adorable too?? it reminded me of childhood fairytales. 

i think itd be a very good read for someone going through a gender crisis or just someone wanting to defy gender norms, or really anyone who knows someone going through something similar.
