Here’s the set-up:

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.

“The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back” is a sweet, clean, contemporary young adult romance.

Publisher’s Weekly Review
“Fuschia-haired, John Hughes-obsessed manga artist Mattie has cast herself as the ugly stepsister in contrast to her beautiful, popular sister Ella, who’s dating Mattie’s longtime crush Jake. In a refreshing twist, Ella’s actually a good person and a good ally of Mattie’s. Early on, Ella breaks up with Jake, but Mattie doesn’t pursue him, though, due partially to her disbelief that he’d be interested in her and partially to his sense of entitlement. She decides to take him down a peg by running against him for class president. True to the John Hughes formula, hijinks ensue, culminating in a dramatic makeover, a masquerade ball, Mattie’s election victory, and a grand romantic gesture. The plot is predictable, but given all the talk of John Hughes, it’s intended to be this way, and it would work well as a film. Mattie’s not half as odd as she thinks she is … but she has an engaging voice, which keeps the reader reading.” – Publishers Weekly
