Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
4.0
I’ve been waiting awhile to read this book and it did not disappoint!
I loved so much about this book. The dystopian themes, feminist messages, well developed characters, and fast paced plot all made this an amazing read. There were so many spots I had to put down the book for a second just to enjoy a really good quote!
I’ve seen so many Cinderella retellings but this one was so original and twisted the story in a super interesting way. I loved that Sophia was impulsive and empathetic, and the romance was just so sweet. It’s been awhile since I found a book I really couldn’t put down and this one definitely drew me in!
The only small thing I’d say could have been improved was Sophia’s grief—she seemed to get over losing people a bit quickly sometimes. I’ve seen some people say that the book was a bit on the nose, and sure it was at points, but I felt like that was a good thing personally—this book had something powerful to say and it wasn’t beating around the bush on everything.
If you haven’t read this yet I definitely recommend checking it out!
