Have you ever read any of the original fairytales? . I have read a few and boy are they dark and twisty! I am excited to be teaming up with @ireadya and @storygramtours to celebrate the release of Stepsister by @jenwritesbooks ! This book is a fiercely feminist retelling of Cinderella that harkens back to the original, darker version of the fairy tale. After Cinderella leaves with the prince, “ugly” stepsister Isabelle has a chance to harness strength she never knew she possessed and take on a world that teaches girls that they must be pretty and obedient to be worthwhile. This powerful story of redemption from bestselling, Printz Honor-winning author Jennifer Donnelly proves that ugly is in the eye of the beholder. To read an excerpt from the book click on the link in my bio! _______________________________________________________ Isabelle should be blissfully happy – she’s about to win the handsome prince. Except Isabelle isn’t the beautiful girl who lost the glass slipper and captured the prince’s heart. She’s the ugly stepsister who’s cut off her toes to fit into Cinderella’s shoe ... which is now filling with blood. . When the prince discovers Isabelle’s deception, she is turned away in shame. It’s no more than she deserves: she is a plain girl in a world that values beauty; a feisty girl in a world that wants her to be pliant. . Isabelle has tried to fit in. To live up to her mother’s expectations. To be like her stepsister. To be sweet. To be pretty. One by one, she has cut away pieces of herself in order to survive a world that doesn’t appreciate a girl like her. And that has made her mean, jealous, and hollow. . Until she gets a chance to alter her destiny and prove what ugly stepsisters have always known: it takes more than heartache to break a girl. #StepsisterTour #StepsisterBook #IreadYA #JenniferDonnelly #storygramtours #fairytale #cinderella #fairytaleretelling #villains #cinderellaretelling #bookaesthetic #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagram #crown #whiterose #glassslipper #bookstack https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIJvxSAnvA/?igshid=xir0pvlzndof
