5.0

This is a fantastically illustrated collection of queer retellings of classic stories. The art style gives it a whimsical and wholesome feel that only adds to the quality of the stories.

I loved that even though the stories were now being told through a queer lens, they weren't inherently romantic, but instead just gave the stories a queer main character. Almost all of them had me tearing up from some kind of emotion and I would love to read more of these if they were ever created!

Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
