This was a sweet retelling of Cinderella following a Black trans woman who falls in love with the princess. I liked how it pulled from the original fairytale but made it it's own. I've been wanting to read some trans Cinderella stories for a while, so this hit the spot! I enjoyed the trans joy Ella experienced and how this novella shows that despite living in an unaccepting environment, trans people are still allowed to experience trans joy!
