Book Review - The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang

 


The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang is about a young dressmaker, Frances, who wants to become a famous dressmaker. Prince Sebastian is being forced by his parents to find someone to marry. Sebastian, rather, spends his time putting on beautiful and daring dresses and taking Paris by storm as Lady Crystallia. He keeps his life secret from everyone, which becomes harder when he becomes the hottest fashion icon in the fashion capital of the world. 

Sebastian’s best friend, Frances, helps dress him in fashionable and noteworthy dresses. She is only one of two people who know the truth about Sebastian. However, Frances dreams of being a famous dressmaker, but her being Sebastian’s secret weapon means her identity will always be kept a secret.  Frances struggles when she feels she must constantly defer her dreams to protect Sebastian’s secret.

The graphic novel was a fun and cute read. I liked that the drawings were colorful and fun. Some of the characters had prominent features that added a bit of fun. The story was a heartwarming read, It was predictable but enjoyable. I would be open to reading more graphic novels by this author.
