I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner
The Prince and the Dressmaker goes to Austenland in this joyfully queer, stunningly romantic graphic novel mash-up of Jane Austen novels—where two friends discover their feelings for each other and find a space in their world for their love and identity.
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.

“I am obsessed with this book.” -Alice Oseman, bestselling author of Heartstopper
“A lovely historical romance worthy of Austen. The art really shines in softly depicting the fashions of the time, as well as the tumultuous emotional journeys of the cast. Fans of the earnest sweetness found in Heartstopper (2020) or the Regency pining of Sarah Vaughn’s Ruined (2023) will be delighted.” -Booklist
