Little girls love to hear fairytales and stories about Prince Charming and “happily ever afters.” But in real life, the prince is usually a dud. 

Liz Mellott will charm adult readers with the twists and turns of her favorite fairytale endings. She tells what happens when the princess is left a single mother, when Prince Charming runs off with another woman, or when the prince comes out of the closet wearing her ball gown. This humorous book portrays Cinderella after she grows up and enters the real world. 

Cinderella Is Dead and I Don’t Feel so Good Either is a reality check, because eventually little girls grow up to learn that Cinderella doesn’t really exist. Her story was meant to keep girls in line, thinking that everything would fall into place in the end and they would be princesses. Ha!
