Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu

5.0

This feminist fairy tale hit me hard and made me think and process my own life experiences in a new way. It's about women taking control of the narrative and their lives to write their own story. The princesses of Ever fall under a curse on their 13th birthdays, and their mother is in a glass box on display. It seems that the people of the kingdom approves of them being weak, and needing care, but Jane is determined to break the curse and live her own life. The story is told from the perspective of Princess Jane and Reagan, the witch who cast the curse. In order to free herself and her sisters, Jane will have to team up with Reagan. In the process she finds the truth and her strength, to make life better for all the women of Ever. Trigger warning for sexual assault and eating disorders, but don't let that deter you. This is a fantastic read for teens and adults who are ready to explore the concepts of personal empowerment, self-blaming, and rising from the ashes.
