“A complete and utter delight! I read it in one sitting and squealed the whole time. Much like a grilled cheese sandwich, this book overflows with goodness. I was heart-eyed all the way through! I recommend this to readers of all ages.”

Staff Reviews
This was so cute!!!! The story was amazing, the art was amazing, the characters and the fashion was amazing!!! I love the mix of modern and medieval, it blends perfectly with the mix of art styles. There’s a touch of activism, but at the end of the day it’s a love story between two amazing women. That and a whole bunch of cheese puns. I want a sequel, I want a 20 book series, I want a movie and a tv show and a cute little dating sim!
— TheaLady Camembert wants to live life on her own terms, without marriage. Well, without marrying a man, that is. But the law of the land is that women cannot inherit. So when her father passes away, she does the only thing she can: She disguises herself as a man and moves to the capital city of the Kingdom of Fromage to start over as Count Camembert.
But it’s hard to keep a low profile when the beautiful Princess Brie, with her fierce activism and great sense of fashion, catches her attention. Camembert can’t resist getting to know the princess, but as the two grow closer, will she able to keep her secret?
A romantic comedy about mistaken identity, true love, and lots of grilled cheese.
