Just Ella is a sassy, fun, quick middle grade read. It takes all of the eye-rolling ridiculousness of the Disneyfied version of Cinderella and doses it with some slightly cynical, very entertaining snark. This was a super-quick read (it's only 218 pages) with a refreshing heroine, and a lot of "save yourself" messages. I recommend it for young girls, but also for fans of fairytale retellings, sassy YA, and anyone tired of the Happily Ever After trope.
