When i first stubbled upon this book i was very intruiged by the storyline it was certainly something i had never seen before a story from the ugly stepsisters perspective.Isabelle was such an interesting charachter she was complex because before reading this book i think many readers already had an opinion of her.From the readers point of view we already knew dome of her worst traits but this book makes you realize that no charachter can be all bad they all have some redeeming qualities isabelle had more than one isabelle may not be the prettiest or kindest sister but she is brave,intelligent and hard working qualaties that may even truimph those that we consider the best redeeming qualities in a charachter.All in all it was a very interesting fastpaced read that forced the reader to look at things from another perspective.I would definitely recommend you give this book a try.
