Synopsis...
Hot girls get the fairy tales. No one cares about
the stepsisters' story. Those girls don't get a sweet little ending; they get a
lifetime of longing
Imogen Keegen has never had a happily ever after–in
fact, she doesn’t think they are possible. Ever since her mother’s death seven
years ago, Imogen has pulled herself in and out of therapy, struggled with an
“emotionally disturbed” special ed. label, and loathed her perma-plus-sized
status.
When Imogen’s new stepsister, the evil and gorgeous
Ella Cinder, moves in down the hall, Imogen begins losing grip on the pieces
she’s been trying to hold together. The only things that gave her solace–the
theatre, cheese fries, and her best friend, Grant–aren’t enough to save her
from her pain this time.
While Imogen is enjoying her moment in the spotlight
after the high school musical, the journal pages containing her darkest
thoughts get put on display. Now, Imogen must resign herself to be crushed
under the ever-increasing weight of her pain, or finally accept the starring
role in her own life story.
And maybe even find herself a happily ever after.
Why I Can’t
Wait…
I’m always up for a retelling and this one sounds like an interesting
one.

Not sure this one is for me, but it sounds kind of like Wicked?!
ReplyDeleteThis book reminds of a kdrama called Cinderella's Step Sister. I loved that one very much so I might give this a try. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this either, especially since it's from a different perspective than you'd expect. :)
