"fairy godmother says you don’t need to look a certain way to deserve someone’s heart. no matter your shape— no matter your size— be proud of all the space your body dares to take up."
I've read and enjoyed Amanda Lovelace's poetry in the past, so when I needed a poetry bundle for the POPSUGAR challenge my thoughts went immediately to this author. I had Break Your Glass Slippers on my TBR, which worked for other challenges as well, so I decided to just dive in and get my first non fiction read of 2024 in early. Those who have read her poetry before are probably aware of her specific poetry style and some might say it's not 'real' poetry. I don't agree with that statement; I think the more simplistic style only gives more power to the words chosen as well as the message behind them. Break Your Glass Slippers is the first bundle of another feminist poetry series, and it's another powerful one. It talks about heavier topics including toxic relationships, body shaming, abuse and suicidal thoughts, but it also gives a message of hope and fighting for your own selfworth. It's a quick read with a strong message, and I loved how the poetry incorporated parts of the original Cinderella story. The illustrations also complemented the poems really well! All in all another successful poetry bundle.

Combination Cinderella retelling and self-love poetry, this quick audio has the beautiful verse you can expect from a sensation such as Amanda Lovelace and will inspire you to rethink how you see yourself and relationships.
I really loved this. I absolutely devoured it and love when audios are narrated by the author--especially for poetry. It just does so much to really tell the story the way it is meant to be told. This book seriously had me feeling really good at the end and kind of empowered. I definitely recommend it!
