If you like Jane Austen/Bridgerton/historical dramas of any kind, this is definitely the graphic novel for you. But make it queer! What this has going for it is its characters. Sure, they don't always make the best decisions, but they're teenagers! You've gotta expect a little drama. George and Eleanor have such fantastic chemistry from the beginning that you'll be rooting for them to figure it out the entire time. Literally the entire time.
The art is great throughout, fitting both the time period and helping to bring the characters to life. My only complaint is that it's maybe slightly longer than it needs to be, but that's not the end of the world. I did appreciate all of the historical information provided at the end. If you're into learning more, there's a lot of great information that Conner provides.
