Why read it?
1 author picked Cinderella Is Dead as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Bayron made the classic Cinderella fairy tale something modern girls can relate to. Black, LGBT girls will especially find a kindred spirit in Sophia. I loved how determined Sophia was to fight back against society’s expectations of her.

To see Sophia’s struggles rewarded with her love story with Constance was great to read.
From Robyn's list on fairy tale retellings for the young at heart.
