Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

5.0

 Wow, Cinderella who? Cinderella Is Dead flips the classic fairy tale on its head in the best way possible! It’s been 200 years since Cinderella’s story ended, but for girls like Sophia, it’s not a happily ever after. In a society where girls are forced to attend a ball to be “chosen” by men, Sophia has had enough and isn’t willing to play along—especially when her heart belongs to her best friend, Erin.

One of the most thrilling moments is when Sophia runs away from the ball and teams up with Constance, a descendant of Cinderella’s stepsister (I mean, talk about a plot twist!). Together, they uncover shocking truths about the original story and plot to take down the oppressive system. This book is filled with action, rebellion, and romance, and Sophia’s fierce determination to rewrite her own fate is nothing short of inspiring. If you’re into fairy tales with a twist, this is a must-read—it's fun, fierce, and full of heart!
