'I am obsessed with this book.' Alice Oseman
A joyfully queer and stunningly romantic graphic novel inspired by the work of Jane Austen and perfect for fans of Heartstopper, Bloom and Lex Croucher.
George has always been in love with their best friend, Eleanor - and has always tried to ignore it.
Now Eleanor is coming of age and expected to marry a suitable man, it doesn't matter how George feels - they have to let her go. Besides, George is busy avoiding their aunt's matchmaking, taking over the failing family estate, and trying to keep their dressing in men's clothes a secret.
Eleanor has always wanted to do everything 'right,' including falling in love - but she's never met a boy she's interested in. She's more concerned with finding the perfect match for her cousin Charlotte, and working out why George is suddenly pulling away. But Eleanor's friendships seem to be falling apart, and she's beginning to realise that she likes George more than any man she's met at a ball...
With a swoon-worthy friends-to-lovers romance, I Shall Never Fall in Love shines a light on what it means to be true to yourself and rewrites the rules of Happily Ever After.
'Packed with Austenian drama, heartache, scandal and yearning - this is the trans Regency era romance I've always wanted to read! Hari Conner's characters are so lovable and the artwork, as always in Conner's work, totally blew me away with its exquisite details, atmosphere, and emotion. I am obsessed with this book.' Alice Oseman
'An instantly compelling, deeply satisfying whirlwind of romance, friendship, and Regency manners. I couldn't put it down! With funny, sharp dialogue and skillful cartooning, Conner has done something extraordinary - they've made the queer past feel vibrant, relevant, and deeply alive.' Molly Knox Ostertag, author of Girl from the Sea
'This gorgeously upbeat celebration of queer love is funny, celebratory and joyful.' The Bookseller, Editor's Choice
'Fans of the earnest sweetness found in Heartstopper or the Regency pining of Sarah Vaughn's Ruined will be delighted.' Booklist
