    About this ebook

    History is told from one person’s perspective. Sometimes they don’t get it right.

    Ugly Stepsister Anna has wrongly been accused of being mean and evil. Now it is time she got the opportunity to tell her side of the story.

    With Cinderella so perfect and wonderful, it is no wonder Anna feels ugly in comparison. Dealing with bullies, a grumpy mother and the death of her step-father, Anna is at her wits end.

    When the Prince’s ball approaches, Anna is told she must find a husband to save the family fortune. Attending with her sisters, the sulky Prince Charming only has eyes for Cinderella.

    With the burden of being the only one to unite her step-sister with the Prince, will Anna act as cupid? Or will she protect Cinderella from the arrogant Charming?

    Jamie was born into a big, crazy family of 6 children. Being the youngest, she always got away with anything and would never shut up.

Quiting the rat race to spend quality time with her laptop named Lily, Jamie has written several novels and screenplays. Spanning a number of genres and mediums, Jamie writes whatever inspires her from ghost stories to teenage love stories to tantalising murder mysteries. Nothing is off limits.A self-confessed television addict, dog lover, Taylor Swift fan, and ghost hunter, Jamie loves nothing more than the thrill of sharing her stories.

      My only complaint is the title isn't right. She never said Cinderella was evil, or even showed Cinderella as evil. The things she did say that weren't flattering about Cinderella she said were because Cinderella was grieving. It was good to hear the story from the point of one of the sisters.
    • 5/5
      Amazing book ? Never let others tell you that you are ugly. You are beautiful and kind.
    • 3/5
      I love the idea of different POVs by established fairy tale characters. Can really round out the stories. Unfortunately, the prose is somewhat clunky, rushed, and a bit too Ever After at times.

      Anna had a lot I potential and was easy to understand. I appreciated her efforts to not be as expected. And there was genuine warmth for Cinderella.

      However, Cinderella is not evil. There's no real establishment except her grief and the cruelness of her stepmother. Possibly whiny but Anna thought being a maid would be good for Cinderella, so.

      The falls flat on plot. And the ending made little sense and no lead up, really. Three stars for Anna overall and the pretty decent plot concept. Execution comes up short.
    • 2/5
      This was alright. Bit odd. More telling than showing. There's not really anything evil about Cinderella either - I expected it to be kind of dark but it was more just fighting between two teenagers who had a thing for the drama. The mum/stepmum was a bitch but also not evil - just bitter and grieving from the loss of a husband she loved very much. Prince Charming is an arrogant ass, but one who has fallen in love with Cinderella and she him. Anna is in love with the coachman she speaks to all of once. That bit I found hard to take, there wasn't any lead up to it until she's basically eloping with him. There wasn't really a lot here but what was, was average. 2 stars.

    CHAPTER 1

    Mirrors have never been my friend. They told me the truth, they showed me all my flaws and didn’t mention anything positive about me. They didn’t know I was a good person on the inside, or that I was kind, they just showed me my pimples, the dark circles under my eyes, and my impossible to manage hair. I should have had them all covered, shown them they couldn’t hurt me.

    But I knew they could. I knew I was ugly, I had been told that my entire life. Yet I couldn’t do anything about it. All I could do was hope I found a man to love me for who I was and not who my mother wanted me to be.

    The door to my room opened and grabbed my attention away from the horrid mirror. I quickly wiped at my eyes so nobody knew I had been crying to myself. They couldn’t know, they couldn’t see my weakness. Not in that world.

    Good morning, Anna, my step-sister said in her usual sing-song voice.

    What’s good about it? I asked, never expecting an answer.

    I watched her, the one with the fancy name of Cinderella, as she restocked the kindling in my fireplace. She was dressed in an ugly grey dress but still looked breathtakingly beautiful. I couldn’t stand the way she was always so perfect. Everyone loved her, she’s charming. Every time I looked at her I couldn’t help but think of my inadequacies. It was torturous.

    To make it worse, I was sure she rubbed it in my face. At every chance she got, I was sure she told whoever would listen how horrible we were. She didn’t like my family – my mother and my sister. She didn’t want to be there with us but wouldn’t leave. Instead, she liked to remind us how terrible and ugly we were.

    Life had been that way ever since Cinderella and her father entered our lives. At first it was exciting. Mother fell in love with him, a
