I know it's early, but this comic may very well end up being my favorite of the year. I have been following it's progress on Jen Wang's instagram for a long time; when I finally got the book in my hands it did not disappoint! The story starts with Frances, a seamstress who works long hours in a Paris dressmaker's shop. She designs a rule-breaking gown that catches the eye of an unusual client: Prince Sebastian of Belgium, who sometimes wants to dress as a Princess. Frances and Sebastian's growing friendship is at the heart of this fairy tale; the charm and warmth of these characters shows through on every page. It's like a cross between Cinderella and Ru Paul's Drag Race, and I've never heard of a more enchanting combination :D
