In the final episode of our third Cinderella era, Daurie and Cassie come together to discuss the classic Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix, an exploration of what happens after Happily Ever After, when life for Ella has become an endless round of lessons and restrictions and even worse, Prince Charming turns out to be more like Prince Boring. Why can't she talk with him the way she can with Jed, her earnest young tutor? Slowly, Ella comes to realize she doesn't want the life she fought so hard to win. But breaking her engagement proves more difficult -- and dangerous -- than escaping her stepmother's tyranny. Join us as we discuss our lengthy history with this novel, its impact on our soup eating, and the intricacies of glass blowing. We also touch on the novel's more problematic elements in the form of some pacing issues and its tendency toward fat-shaming.

Trigger warnings for this book and episode include body image discussions, torture, physical assault, and threats of sexual assault. Please read and listen carefully.
