This was very funny story. What I loved about this book is that they made these stories into reality. And dealt with feminism that woman deal with now a days. Great read.

This book was very humorous and very well thought out. I loved the feminist perspective and retellings. It reminded me a bit of By Gone Badass Broads by Mackenzie Lee. I was hoping that there would be more illustrations since the arc if this on netgalley was marketed as a "graphic novel". There were illustrations at the top of the chapters but that was about it.

These stories are sarcastic, satirical and brutally honest. If you're looking for updated fairytales, I would recommend.

Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling: And Other Feminist Fairy Tales is a hilarious, feminist retelling of many classic fairy tales.
The book covered many different issues from catcalling to slut-shaming and with a humorous (+ informative) tone. I enjoyed how many different issues were tackled without seeming forced. I give the book four stars as some of the stories were just far more entertaining than others, and I wish the quality was a little more consistent.
The Peter Pan retelling was easily my favorite one and was genuinely so funny.
I recommend this to any feminists (with a love for fairy tales).

I was so pleasantly surprised and delighted with this book! I loved the feminist perspective and the real world teachings used in classic fairytales. It has actually bothered me for years at how terribly outdated fairytales are, yet we continually read and teach them to our children and expect them to understand real world scenarios. This book flips those archaic views on their head by playing with the original stories and making them both relevant and hilarious.
I 100% recommend this book!
Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy for an honest review.
