Break your glass

"Break Your Glass Slippers" is the first book in the new series by celebrated poet Amanda Lovelace. As the name hints, I began this one by hoping it to be a poetic retelling of the Cinderella tale. The first part (there are a total of three parts) goes as expected. The later parts want us to stop believing in fairy tales, but instead write our own life story. A powerful message indeed.It is also a tale of feminism and misogyny, poetically explaining the two terms and subtly pointing out how, sometimes, when one tries to be the former, intentionally or unintentionally becomes the latter.Thanks to the author and the publisher for the ARC.

Amanda does it again! Breaking down these stories and showing women that we are our own heros — we don’t need rescuing.

Eu amei o livro, ele tem uma capa fosca, como se fosse bem seca, não sei explicar. Tem desenhos coloridos, pequenos poemas nas páginas e um impacto muito grande nas palavras! Eu estou amando essa leitura ❤️❤️❤️

Based on the Cinderella story, this poetry book takes the form of the Evil Stepmother for any negative self talk and the Fairy Godmother for the positive encouraging statements.It's really uplifting, and I would recommend it to any women or girls who want a lift.It is part of the 3-Part Empowering Fairy stories.This would make a great gift as well for an older girl (at least older teenager) or woman in your life.Love it!

very good

Five stars like all of Amandas poetry! Amazing work for every strong woman and those who want to turn into one! She reminded me that I don’t need anyones approval to be a bad witch 🙌🏽
