Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Audio for an ALC of this book.

Combination fairy tale retelling and self-love poetry, this quick audio has gorgeous verse, sisterly love, and themes of self-love and acceptance that are the perfect continuation to break your glass slippers.

I loved this book just as much as the first one. I really liked the parts from "big sister says" and everything that it meant. It is honestly so inspiring and happy to listen to these books!

It’s been awhile since I read an Amanda Lovelace poetry novel but as usual it was wonderful, encouraging, and relatable!

This is a refreshingly modern fairytale. Lovelace manages to weave fantastic pieces of poetry with flash fiction and blurbs from the character's big sister while creating an overarching and beautiful story. The advice is something I wish I had gotten from an older sister when I was younger. The book has a great use of white space that emphasizes the importance in each slice of wisdom. The poems are empowering and magical. The artwork sprinkled throughout is gorgeous. It balances feminism and spirituality with empowerment and truth. I recommend this book to any feminine being that needs to reclaim their power.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
