I love retellings and I loved this book. i had this one on my tbr for a while now and I finally got to it - I am so glad that I did because I loved every single page. I loved the characters, loved the story and I loved the message that beauty isn't always everything and that a girl/woman can be brave and take chances and be just as strong as a man is.

Cinderella’s stepsisters aren’t just ugly, mean sisters. They are more than that, more than what their mother taught them to be.

Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
sᥡᥒ᥆⍴sіs:
Isabelle should be blissfully happy -- she's about to win the handsome prince. Except Isabelle isn't the beautiful girl who lost the glass slipper and captured the prince's heart. She's the ugly stepsister who cut off her toes to fit into Cinderella's shoe . . . which is now filling with blood.
Isabelle tried to fit in. She cut away pieces of herself in order to become pretty. Sweet. More like Cinderella. But that only made her mean, jealous, and hollow. Now she has a chance to alter her destiny and prove what ugly stepsisters have always known: it takes more than heartache to break a girl.
mᥡ rᥱ᥎іᥱᥕ:
After meeting Jennifer Donnelly a few weeks ago, I was excited to dive into the world she created. Stepsister was the empowering story of the ugly step sister in Cinderella. Being ugly isn’t about what’s on the outside, but truly what’s at the core of oneself. Isabelle journeys through this book and discovers a deeper understanding about herself and the people around her. This retelling of a classic fairytale was so well done.

Aangezien ik dacht dat het boek ergens anders over ging, was het even moeilijk om erin te komen. Over het algemeen wel een leuk boek, maar de stukjes over de magistraat, sloeg ik over want die vond ik een beetje saai en snapte ik niet helemaal.
