(Brit + Co) "Those who are fans and followers of Lovelace will not be disappointed, as she serves up her unique mix of fairytale references and female empowerment, all distilled down into scant, but impactful words . . . The structure of this collection is smart and truly unique. While many other contemporary poets write on similar topics, Lovelace has found a way to make herself standout." (YA Books Central) "Ultimately, Break Your Glass Slippers is a thought-provoking collection of poems that cohesively tell a story asking us to see our own value and beauty beneath whatever dirt others may have put there."
