“They were not pretty these women. Pretty did not begin to describe them. They were strong. They were brave. They were beautiful.”
This is a continuation of Cinderella from the point of view of one of the stepsisters, Isabelle. I had high hopes , I have an affinity for retellings from the point of view of the “bad guy”. This book delivered.
Not only was I given an incredibly unique storyline, but the digs at societal standards and misogyny were so empowering.

What more can I say that I ADORE this book. It's heavy , it's the step sister story of cinderella and I couldn't love and enjoy more than I thought. Always wanted to read stories of the "villains" of the princess tales ,like what were they rlly thinking,were going trought,did they rlly wanted to do these things . How can their life change or them ?! And I got it from this book. Might be strange but I could kinda relate Isa , She was a girl ,had dreams yet wasn't allowed to try to achieve them. Love is not the main focus between 2 characters .it's obviously just a piece to find her heart and be finally who She is . It was just AMAZING.
