The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back by: Sariah Wilson

About the Book:

Everyone knows how all those fairy tales go. The princess gets beautiful, nabs her prince, falls instantly in love, lives happily ever after and leaves her evil stepsisters in the dust.

But what happens when you’re the ugly stepsister and your obnoxiously perfect—read pretty, smart, and, worst of all, sickeningly nice—stepsister is dating the charming, tall, devastatingly handsome guy you’ve had a thing for since you were nine years old?

Quirky, artistic and snarky Mattie Lowe does not lead a charmed life. Her mother is constantly belittling her on Skype. Mercedes, the school mean girl, has made it her personal mission to torment Mattie. But worst of all? Her stepsister Ella is the most beautiful, popular girl in school and is dating Mattie’s secret longtime crush, Jake Kingston.

Tired of being left out and done with waiting for her own stupid fairy godmother to show up, Mattie decides to change her life. She’ll start by running for senior class president against wildly popular Jake.

Ella can keep her Prince Annoying. Mattie’s going to rule the school. And no one, not even a cute and suddenly flirty Jake, is going to stop her.

My Thoughts:

I LOVED this book! I know how it is to be the “ugly” sister and how it can make you feel so I can totally get behind Mattie. I also love the Cinderella twist because lets be honest, life just doesn’t happen the way it does for Cinderella. Mattie is such a great character and one that you could easily imagine as most teen girls are today. I reaf that there will be a second book and I can’t wait to find out what happens in it.
