This is a very cute high school romance that used all the common themes from the genre… and then turned them on their heads. The pretty, popular blonde is nice and smart and a good friend. The popular guy doesn’t turn out to be horrible. The high school stereotypes are there, but people have m...
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.I admit it: I was hesitant about this book at first. While I love YA, generally, I've read a few fairytale-like stories (or retellings) that didn't go so well. But, the story sounded really cute and light, which was just what I needed, so I gave ...
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 a...
Clean, cute and sweet. How often such adjectives apply to YA fiction these days? They all apply to this book, and although I don’t belong to its target readership, I enjoyed this quirky teenage romance. Its protagonist Mattie is the ugly stepsister, or she thinks she is. Very insecure beside her bea...
I loved this story! It's funny, it's cute, it has a very likeable heroine, and... well, you just should check it out for yourself. I stumbled upon this title in one of my Kindle deals o' the day emails. So glad I did, and it's fun to discover a new author all by oneself that one can tell others a...
This film was a cute rendering of a Cinderella type story from the ugly step sister's point of view. But nothing is as it seems in Mattie' s world and she's about to get all her misconceptions corrected, ala John Hughes style.
I got a free download of The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back from Amazon. In exchange, I offer the author this, my honest review. At the outset, let me say that I really do not read that many “romance” stories. I suppose this is largely due to a couple factors—the first being that so often they see...

Nothing too depressing like cancer or tragic pasts, but not too cheesy and fluffy. Thankfully, there are books like The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back here to fulfill thi...
This was a cute, fun book. I was expecting there to be a sort of rivalry between Mattie and Ella, and there was a bit of one at first, but they both really just liked each other two much to be bitter enemies. That was nice to see, when Cinderella stories usually rely on that relationship as the main...
Originally reviewed at Witchmag's Boekenplank *A copy was made available by the author in exchange for an honest review* This was a very nice and light book that I enjoyed reading. It’s not the usual story where a female protagonist is so shy that she’s only able to glance at her crush from afar...
