Absolutely loved it!!
I felt like the ending was a bit rushed, would have loved one final chapter just to conclude it all a bit more. 
Loved the character interactions and plot, the ending was both surprising and predictable (if that makes sense), loved it regardless. 
It would be really nice to see a sequel, maybe based on other areas that were brought up that we also based on fairy tales!

It’s a twisted tale of Cinderella’s story set 200 years after Cinderella died. It was a great book with shocking realizations.

I honestly didn't think this book would be worth all of the booktok hype, but oh my gosh it totally is worth the hype! 

I thought I was going to try to be more stingy with my 5 stars, but there's no world where I would put this under 5, it's just such an incredible, empowering book. And the diversity is a plus, of course.

Is it a lil predictable? Sure. But do I love a modern-day re-do (not really a retelling) of Cinderella with a dash of Smashing the f-ing Patriarchy. 

I also rate books solely on how they make me feel and if they solicit emotion from me and am not a super critical reader, and I just loved this.

Amazing book that explores hard hitting current issues like misogyny and domestic abuse, it showcases tyranny, injustice and oppression and how they're overcome. Beautiful feminist literature which sets a great example for young girls/women.
