​First of all and most of all, the book should have categorically stuck with the original cover. Just look at it, it's lovely.
As for the rest...well, I really liked Watson's Book Tour and wanted tor read more of his work. Though to be fair, the real star of this graphic novel I the art not the story.
The story's fine. Charming, even. But the art is so fun, so detailed. There's SO much to see on every page. I really liked it.
So going but the title alone, you know the location. The time is somewhere in the 50s, though I'm not sure I would have picked up on it had it not been mentioned in the description. Two young women, one American (low-key upbringing), one British (as uppercrusty as they come) fall for each other. The odds are overwhelmingly against them. Will love win the day?
That's basically it. It stands to mention that the British characters in this book are just TOO affected in their speech and mannerisms. They make Downton Abbey sound positively plebeian. It's rather distracting and pulls focus.
But other that that, the book (art and story) is cute. And such a quick read.
