Friendship, identity, and changing expectations

Set in a historically inspired world shaped by Jane Austen novels, this graphic novel brings questions of inheritance and social convention into the lives of two close friends. George must contend with a failing family estate and the risk attached to dressing in men’s clothes, while Eleanor’s ideas about what it means to fall in love begin to shift when a new suitor arrives. Their changing feelings place their friendship, personal identity, and expectations of propriety in conversation.

Book overview

The Prince and the Dressmaker goes to Austenland in this historically inspired, joyfully queer, stunningly romantic graphic novel mash-up of Jane Austen novels--where two friends discover their feelings for each other and find a space in their world for their love and identity.

George has major problems: They've just inherited the failing family estate, and the feelings for their best friend, Eleanor, have become more complicated than ever. Not to mention, if anyone found out they were secretly dressing in men's clothes, George is sure it would be ruination for the family name.

Eleanor has always wanted to do everything "right," including falling in love--but she's never met a boy she was interested in. She'd much rather spend time with her best friend, George, and beloved cousin Charlotte. However, when a new suitor comes to town, she finds her closest friendships threatened, forcing her to rethink what "right" means and confront feelings she never knew she had.

Perfect for fans of Alice Oseman and Ngozi Ukazu, I Shall Never Fall in Love shines a light on what it means to be true to yourself andrewrites the rules for what makes a happily ever after.
