All Princesses Die Before Dawn by Quentin Zuttion

emotional hopeful inspiring slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

5.0

(I'm actually crying. This is absurd. The last time a book made me cry was when I read five feet apart a year after I watched the movie with my friends.)

All Princesses Die Before Dawn is set in 1997, the day Princess Diana died. The story follows three family members, all facing their own challenges. Parents fighting and on the edge of a divorce, a self-conscious sister dealing with her problems with a much older guy, and the younger brother who tries on his mom's lipstick and tries to figure out his feelings for his best friend. I love how delicately done the topics are, with the soft art style to really show that fragility of this book. There's so much emotion packed into a short book, and Lulu discovering his sexuality really hits close to home. It's just so innocent and so beautifully done, showing that there is hope after everything that have happened.
