I thought I have seen a lot of different kinds of Graphic Novels that is until I read Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich which oozed so much cheesiness and puns it could sink a battle ship. But through Deya's wonderful writing and illustrations you will end up being charmed by every character having the same names as well known cheeses and guffawed at the names of famous fashion designers. Then you have a series side with a content warning of misogyny which I think Deya discussed really well. I loved the relationship between Camembert and Brie and was hoping and praying that they would end up together. But the cherry of on top of the cake was finding out that the story was based on her wooing and marrying her now wife really warmed the cockles of my heart.
For all the above reasons I knew that I had to rate Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich 4 stars and suggest that you go and get a copy for yourself.
