Picture it: the beautiful city of Camelot. Within it: the princess of England (Gwendoline) is betrothed to a someday Lord (Arthur). But this is not a retelling of the familiar old myths. This is 100% Gwen's and Arthur's own story.
Arthur and Gwen spend most of their lives despising each other. And then they stumble upon each other's secrets... Arthur kisses boys and Gwen has a crush on the kingdom's one lady knight.
This is a queer love story. And it's lovely.
Gwen and Art Are Not in Love is such a sweet book — and literally so funny. It's one of those novels where you end the book with an entire cast of characters that you love. It was paced well, and the ending in particular really amped up for me. It's soft and fun and queer; the time I spent with this story was truly enjoyable.
