Listen up, folks! You think you know how those fairy tales go, right? The princess is drop-dead gorgeous, snags her prince charming, falls head over heels in love, and they live happily ever after, leaving those evil stepsisters in the dust. Well, what if I told you there's a different side to the story? What if you're the ugly stepsister, stuck with a stepsister who's perfect in every way? I mean, she's not just pretty and smart, but disgustingly nice too. And to top it all off, she's dating the tall, charming, and devastatingly handsome guy you've been crushing on since, well, forever.
Now, let me throw in some more details about our protagonist, Mattie Lowe. She's quirky, artistic, and has a wicked sense of humor. But her life? Far from charming. Her mother constantly belittles her over Skype, and to make matters worse, Mercedes, the resident mean girl at school, has made it her personal mission to make Mattie's life miserable. But the cherry on top of this unfortunate sundae? Ella, the stepsister, is not only drop-dead gorgeous, but also the most popular girl in school. And guess who she's happily dating? Yep, you guessed it—Jake Kingston, Mattie's secret crush since they were both nine years old.
But hold on tight, my friends, because Mattie is done being the forgotten stepsister. She's tired of waiting for her fairy godmother to magically fix her life. Instead, she's taking matters into her own hands, starting by running for senior class president against none other than the incredibly popular Jake. Who needs Prince Annoying anyway? Mattie's about to show them all who really rules the school. And let me tell you, not even a cute and suddenly flirty Jake is going to stop her from reaching her goals.
