Review
This is another remake of Cinderella with a twist instead of Cinderella as the Heroin its The Ugly Stepsister. It's a funny book, that got me screaming and yelling at Aya Ling. The writing was good and it's definitely a page turner. It's a girl's book (sorry, guys) unless your a guy who likes princess stories than be my guest. Take a dive into the magical world of make believe and fantasy.
Summary
Katherine rips a Cinderella book while dropping down the stairs and is transported into the story book. She is stuck in the storybook forever unless she manages to make the ending have a happily ever-after but, with a mix up in the parentage, the stress of being a noble woman, a missing fairy-godmother and her and the prince falling in love with each other not to mention her sister and mother happily ever after seems like a long way to go.
Spoiler Content!
After the whole book is finished and she becomes the princess. I read the ending and I had two words running in my mine, WAIT, WHAT!!!!!! She doesn't remember being in the book. I didn't expect some cliche ending like how there's somehow another prince with exactly the same face as the prince in the book (but, I was hoping) like they did in the Barbie version of The Nutcracker (Ewww!) but I at least wanted her to remember! UGHHH!
