Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
I have not been reading a lot of YA this year but spotted this in Waterstones yesterday and I just had to get it! Cinderella is one of my favourite fairy tales, and this book offers such an interesting and original twist on the classic tale. So far I have been enjoying it, and think it would have a great Christmas gift for any fans of fairytale retellings!
As a WoC, it is also great to see another WoC as a central character in a YA novel where her colour is not a plot point. She’s already got the patriarchy to deal with, and she’s rocking that!
I am only an Ally myself, but I can imagine how great young adults from the LGBTQ+ community must feel to see themselves in here as well!
