Correction, it is not a fun time for any female in the land.

Rethinking Your Disney ObsessionĪnd folks, the HEA dust from Cinderella’s story has long since faded away and so have the fun times for everyone in the land for that matter. She wants an out, an escape, and she wants her girlfriend Erin to come with her to get away from the terrible society that features misogyny as its favorite pastime. The main character, Sophia, is a beautiful girl who is in love with her best friend Erin and is dreading the upcoming mandatory ball. In a nutshell…Ĭinderella is Dead is a queer, feminist story, with a Black female main character, that digs into what happened after Prince Charming and Cinderella got hitched. No spoilers, that clue is literally in the title. For this particular novel, the HEA was a big ol’ fat lie. There is just something fun about putting a twist on a classic or exploring whether or not the Happily Ever After was all it was cracked up to be.

Also there was a Black girl on the cover! So I was jumping up and down when I saw this book. Which is why I picked up Cinderella is Dead in the first place. Sooooo I am kind of into fairy tales, like a lot. You will not be able to look at this gif the same way after you finish the book.
