Am I surpised that I loved this from the premise and the cover? Absolutely not. But this is an absolute gem of a graphic novel and guaranteed to lift your mood, no matter what. After having a hard time getting into the book I'm reading for book club next week, this is definitely the break that I needed. I flew through this and am definitely thinking about buying a copy to add to my collection.
Not only is the art wonderful and beautiful throughout this, from the colors to the character design to the settings, but the writing is just as wonderful. It has a little bit of [book:The Prince and the Dressmaker|34506912] vibes, with royalty and fashion, etc. And so many cheese puns! Muniz committed to that, and I love them for it. Almost makes me want to immediately read it again so I can see if I picked up on all of the cheese references!
If you're looking for something lighthearted to add to your Pride Month TBR, I definitely recommend this one.
