The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich has wonderfully bright and lively illustrations that lend well to the regency-esque era of this graphic novel. I enjoyed that this graphic novel portrayed Lady Camembert's family as supportive in her dream of living life her own way - without marrying - even to the point of providing the means and opportunity for her to masquerade as a man when she become "Lord" of the family. The graphic novel tackles nonconformist ideals, subverting expectation, and unexpected love. I was instantly intrigued by the title and the cover, but the plot kept me engaged for the whole 256 pages.
