Author Jayne Lockwood says: "For me this was the whole package; a lovely tale of acceptance, with a straight Romeo reacting with delight when he realises the girl he kissed is actually a boy who loves looking pretty. The way they gradually learn more about each other, and themselves, is so beautiful and is depicted really well in the illustrations. This is a wonderful story of understanding and just letting people be who they are without pointing fingers or judgement."

Zak Webber enthuses: "The dramatis personae here are rendered as manga-style paragons of beauty; radiant, chiseled visions, and not just the young characters. Even the parents are Milan catwalk material; DILFs, MILFs and hot uncles aplenty. This is a technicolor fever dream of Romanticist poetry set against the exquisitely antiquated backdrop of a fairytale wonderland..." infinitydragonfly.com
