Book Review: The Ugly Step Sister Strikes Back by Sariah Wilson

Fairy tales rarely spare a thought for the ugly stepsister — but The Ugly Step Sister Strikes Back is here to change that. This witty YA retelling flips the Cinderella story on its head, giving the overlooked girl a chance to step out of the shadows and take control of her own story. With humour, heart, and plenty of high-school drama, Sariah Wilson delivers a fun and empowering read.

The Ugly Step Sister Strikes Back by Sariah Wilson

Everyone knows how those fairy tales go. The princess gets beautiful, nabs her prince and leaves her evil stepsisters in the dust.

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

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

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