Cinderella Is Dead

Without giving away too much, Cinderella doesn't want to live in an sociality where women are force to marry. The build up is a bit slow, and the middle and end seemed rushed. But besides that very well written, I recommend

the second i started reading this, i couldn’t put it down. it’s a lovely story that takes a spin on an old fairytale and turns it into something even better.

I’ve been intending to read this one for a few months now, and I finally just sat down to read it—and then 3 hours passed and I was done! I didn’t know I needed a Cinderella retelling in my life until I read Cinderella is Dead! I love that there are LGBTQ+ main characters, who are all working together to bring down the patriarchy. It's also got some serious dystopian vibes, which is a huge draw for me. This is an incredible Own Voices debut, and I’m looking forward to what Kalynn writes for us next :)
