![]() ![]() Anything that has the power to make some homophobic jerk that angry was getting my money, regardless of the other reviews that called this predictable. What ended up making me buy it was some Karen's scathing review of the book that called it "gay porn" and likened watching the lesbian romance in the book to watching dogs. Ok so I read some bad reviews for this book and was not going to get it. This fresh take on a classic story will make listeners question the tales they’ve been told and root for girls to break down the constructs of the world around them. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all - and in the process, they learn that there’s more to Cinderella’s story than they ever knew. ![]() ![]() There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee and finds herself hiding in Cinderella’s mausoleum. Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl’s display of finery. It’s 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Girls team up to overthrow the kingdom in this unique and powerful retelling of Cinderella from a stunning new voice that’s perfect for fans of A Curse So Dark and Lonely. Bloomsbury presents Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron, read by Bahni Turpin. ![]()
