[trigger warnings at end of review]
as her other poetry retellings of different fairytales and concepts have fared, amanda lovelace does quite the same with this new Cinderella retelling in [b:Break Your Glass Slippers|46406160|Break Your Glass Slippers (You Are Your Own Fairy Tale, #1)|Amanda Lovelace|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1573919105l/46406160._SX50_.jpg|71433031]. her advice is straight to the point, imagery is vivid and concise.

her details show the experiences she had gone through herself with misogyny, sexual harassment, trauma, etc., and the aesthetic to the whole book was gorgeously put together.

trigger warnings: sexual assault, child abuse, eating disorders, mentions of sexual harassment, trauma, mental health issues, suicidal ideation, fatphobia, misogyny, internalized misogyny, and toxic relationships (romantic and platonic).
