Sharp banter, dynamic characters, and a warm sapphic romance give this even more verve.
Booklist
Kalynn Bayron does more than re-write a fairy-tale . . . She breaks it apart and rebuilds it into a wholly original and captivating story where girls finally decide for themselves who lives happily ever after.
Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY, on CINDERELLA IS DEAD
Flipping the Cinderella tale on its head, Bayron’s take challenges patriarchy with kick-butt heroines and a counter-story that will forever change how readers perceive fairy tales.

School Library Journal Online, on CINDERELLA IS DEAD
A queer dystopian fantasy that questions written history and societal expectations.
Shelf Awareness Pro, on CINDERELLA IS DEAD
Bayron’s deconstructive reimagining of the classic fairy tale is ambitious, replacing the happily-ever-after with a tragic legacy and a defiant, feminist tone.
