piyali 's review for:

Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly
4.0

This book is pure magic. The magic is in each and every human heart. The trick is to be who you are and not sacrifice parts of yourself to try to be what you are not. Donnelly brings out this message through a fantastic retelling, or rather, a continuation of the Cinderella story. She focuses on Isabelle and Octavia who did not fit the magic slippers - the societal expectations of what a girl should be.

"Go now, girl. Remake the world."
