I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

How could I resist this one? Claire Powell doing the illustrations? Instead of a princess it is a prince? LGBT+ story? YESSSS!

In this one we meet Prince Fredwin (yes really that is his name and yes it made me laugh), he is a prince and he is about to turn 21 years old. Yup, we are not getting young princes and princesses we have adult ones in this one and that just made me so happy. I was thinking that the two characters on the cover were the dads, but no, they are the princes. I already was rooting for these two to get together (sorry, I just saw a ship and knew this one had to sail) but Fredwin first has to understand that rules are meant to be broken. What rule am I talking about? The one that says that princes have to marry princesses. Yup. Old-fashioned of course.

And what happens next when a princess appears in the stormy night? Yes, just like that, as if it was magic! Well, you see the title right? Yup. But what the guys don’t know and our princess knows is that she heard the guy talking about the pea. And I was just in stitches at what our princess did next. To be honest, I would have done the same to Fredwin. Sorry, not sorry. It was just perfect and it got better and better with each page. Until it all BOOM! After that it was just even more perfection and I was just giggling in delight and throwing around colourful confetti.

The illustrations are a FEAST. For real, I could just keep on going back and forth through the book to see them once again. I just LOVE the use of colours, especially how everything is a freaking rainbow. From the mattresses to the parade to the details in a photograph to Zac who is wearing a rainbow vest. It is perfect. I loved the character designs.

I would highly recommend this book to all! This was just utterly fun and definitely a favourite of mine this year.
