Notes:
This fantastical, lesbian retelling of Cinderella is at once a heady romance and a coming-of-age story. Not only does Lo change up the love interest to be the prince's female huntress, she also substitutes the beloved fairy godmother for a tricky, untrustworthy fairy man. Readers interested in (fractured) fairy tales will love this Cinderella narrative turned on its head. It is a dark and enthralling look into how far a person may go to win love, and how great the cost may be.
