George has major problems: They’ve just inherited the failing family estate, and the feelings for their best friend, Eleanor, have become more complicated than ever. Not to mention, if anyone found out they were secretly dressing in men’s clothes, George is sure it would be ruination for the family name. Eleanor has always wanted to do everything "right," including falling in love—but she’s never met a boy she was interested in. She’d much rather spend time with her best friend, George, and beloved cousin Charlotte. However, when a new suitor comes to town, she finds her closest friendships threatened, forcing her to rethink what "right" means and confront feelings she never knew she had. Inspired by Jane Austen and queer history, I Shall Never Fall in Love shines a light on what it means to be true to yourself and rewrites the rules for what makes a happily ever after.

Overall Thoughts:
I'm not a huge fan of historical fiction, but I think this being a graphic novel helped me not feel as bored with it. I especially liked the humorous expressions that the characters had. I think I hoped for a bit more with the plot, as it was fairly predictable, but it was still sweet and interesting. It didn't leave a lasting impression on me, but it was still a decent book and, for the most part, I enjoyed it. :)
