Lady 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. **Love In Panels' Review**:[Review of The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/princess-and-grilled-cheese-sandwich) # [Review: The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich, by Deya Muniz](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/princess-and-the-grilled-cheese-sandwich) [fa icon="calendar"] Aug 1, 2023 4:37:12 PM / by [Suzanne](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/author/suzanne) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) *The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich* is almost exactly what the cover suggests: a whimsical queer romance with lots of cheese. As the descendant of a long line of dairy farmers (to this day), I'm a big fan of cheese. The silly title caught my eye, but it's the delightful main character, a Count's daughter (Lady Camembert) who hooked me. The book opens as her father confronts her about her refusal of yet another male suitor. Though he is accepting of her lack of attraction to men, he's dying and she can't inherit as an unmarried woman. Thus begins Cam's life as the new Count Camembert, who quickly makes a splash in high society and woos Princess Brie. Muniz's illustration is bright, emotive and almost whimsical. The characters and the creator are clearly into fashion, so there are lots of fun dresses and suits. The plot is pretty over-the-top, but in a way that really worked for me. Most of all, the friends Cam makes are funny and the romance is swoony. I loved the scenes in which Cam is dramatically throwing herself around her apartment while her lady's maid is trying to curb her worst impulses. As with most "girl in pants" stories, there's some gender essentialism in this one. I think because it's a sapphic story, however, the whole thing comes off better than when it's a male love interest. In those cases, the MMC is often appalled at the idea that he might be attracted to a man, but lucky for him, he's not! In this case, when Brie learns Cam's true identity, she has a bit of a panic but eventually realizes she's bi/pan and that's fine. I'm not sure how this will hit for trans readers, but it didn't feel anywhere near as ick as some historical romances I've read have. *The Princess and the Grilled Cheese* gets an enthusiastic recommendation from me. The puns were punny, the friendships brightened my day and the happy ending made me very happy. This is a kisses only, low stress, great read for YA and adult audiences. *** If you'd like to purchase a copy of this book, please buy from your LCS or consider using one of these links to support the site: ** [Amazon](https://amzn.to/43REQb6) ◊ [Kobo](https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-princess-and-the-grilled-cheese-sandwich-a-graphic-novel)** ******* **Content Notes: **death of parent, grief, girl in pants trope, homophobia (mentioned) Topics: [review](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/review) ![left.png](https://www.loveinpanels.com/hs-fs/hubfs/left.png?width=640&name=left.png "left.png") ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Support Love in Panels [![Buy an eBook From Kobo Today](https://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=2J8ZNsFdbgk&bids=551651.109&subid=0&type=4&gridnum=0)](https://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=2J8ZNsFdbgk&offerid=551651.109&subid=0&type=4) [- Recent - Popular - Categories ### Lists by Topic - [review (102)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/review) - [comics guide (9)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/comics-guide) - [interview (6)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/interview) - [announcement (5)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/announcement) - [kids comics (4)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/kids-comics) - [guest post (2)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/guest-post) - [new releases (2)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/new-releases) - [cover reveal (1)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/cover-reveal) - [excerpt (1)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/excerpt) ](http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-8814288-11820649) ### Posts by Topic - [review (102)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/review) - [comics guide (9)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/comics-guide) - [interview (6)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/interview) - [announcement (5)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/announcement) - [kids comics (4)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/kids-comics) - [guest post (2)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/guest-post) - [new releases (2)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/new-releases) - [cover reveal (1)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/cover-reveal) - [excerpt (1)](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/topic/excerpt) [see all](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/princess-and-the-grilled-cheese-sandwich#) ### Recent Posts #### About Us Love in Panels is two blogs, each with their own searchable database.
