This was such a delightful, satisfying read that I'm glad I finally got to pick up. I've been wanting to read it ever since I saw the name and cover last year-ish. So when my library not only had it, but my hold came through sooner than expected? I jumped to read it. I loved the premise of the story, the characters(this includes the side characters who were so lovely & I'd love to see stories for each of them but Zola the most), and the art so much. The fashion aspect was such a delightful thing in addition to the amusement of so many cheese related names, puns, etc. Also omg I really want some grilled cheese sandwiches right now lol

While this book has cozy vibes, I hesitate to call it lighthearted cause it does deal with some heavy topics and emotions re: not being able to be who you are in an unaccepting society and the choices that can be forced on you/you can be forced to make as a result. So please go into this carefully if you're struggling with emotions about being closeted or stuck in an unhappy relationship. And if you need to talk to someone definitely reach out to those who can help you.

You'll notice my rating, I'm sure. Even though I enjoyed it immensely and wanted to rate it higher, here's why I didn't: there's a scene where Camembert says something mildly - not even mildly tbh - improper to Feta and Brie SMACKS him in the face cause 'you don't speak like that to a lady' and this is unacceptable. Not even Feta spoke up for Cam and it was played off lightly afterwards with him saying stop smacking me and Brie saying never like it's cute. It is not cute. Stop having people who are friends or potential love interests or love interests hit the people they love! And yes, I know there's a difference between playing around/joking, but this was not that case and it really bothered me.
