An interesting retelling of the Cinderella story from the point of view of one of the "ugly" stepsisters, taking as it's starting point Ella's happy ever after ending. The character of Isabelle, the stepsister, is sympathetic and at times quite poignant. The story has a good pace and there are lots of twists and turns in the plot with a number of episodes of suspense. An enjoyable read.

I loved this book and cannot wait to get a finished copy of it.
This book is retelling of Cinderella from the end of the fairytale. It is more based off the traditional fairy tale than the Disney movie from the mutilation that the ugly stepsisters do to their feet to fit it into the glass slipper. The story looks at Isabelle, one of the ugly stepsisters.
I just really enjoyed reading this and how the characters have all had flaws but come through and how someone can change their fate to something better.
