Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
5.0
adventurous dark emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was the perfect dark retelling of Cinderella - it was sapphic, it was feminist, it was raw and real and magical and just so absolutely perfect. Sophia and Liv and Erin and Luke and Constance and Émile... I can't even begin to choose favorites. I loved all of them deeply and fantastically. I don't reread a lot of books these days but this might be an exception because of how wonderful an experience I had while reading it. 

Pros: Literally everything. 

Cons: The only con is that a dark retelling of Snow White by Kalynn Bayron is not already in my hands.
