Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz pens a lush, swoon-worthy retelling of "Cinderella" set in lavish Versailles. Perfect for fans of Bridgerton and The Selection!

Cendrillon de Louvois was poised to be the most eligible maiden in all of France. But the death of her father, the king’s favorite advisor, has left Cendrillon at the will of her cruel stepmother and stepsisters.
 
Dubbed Lady Cinder by the court, Cendrillon is forced to become a servant to her new family. But when she attends the royal ball, she catches the eye of the handsome Prince Louis and his younger brother, Auguste.
 
Even though Cendrillon has an immediate aversion to Louis and a connection with Auguste, the only way to escape her stepmother is to compete with the other girls at court for the Prince’s hand.
 
As her stepmother’s cruelty grows, Cendrillon captures the prince’s heart . . . though her own heart belongs to Auguste. Cendrillon’s fate rests on one question: Can she bear losing the boy she loves in order to leave a life she hates?

I won’t lie, those reasons are in favour for this book. It did take me a bit to get into (I was more into......more

4.5 stars Surprise! I devoured a Cinderella retelling! *read mild sarcasm as retellings are a blatant favorite* :) Cendrillon, aka Cinder, is the daughter of an influential aristo. Her mother has passed but her godmother's influence is steady and loving. When her father takes her to court and returns......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on September 03, 2021

Got an ARC through work, and I have to say, this one gave me a few good laughs. I don't think I've ever encountered a main character who was more utterly oblivious to her surroundings, and not in a good way. Basically every major plot point goes so far over her head that it's actively frustrating to......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on March 22, 2022

Thanks to PenguinTeen for the digital ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Is it weird to say I don't think this author is for me even though I've only read two of her books? (The other one being The Queen's Assassin. I ended up giving that one 2 stars as well.) CINDER & GLASS was very......more
