The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back by Sariah Wilson

3.0

No idea when or why I downloaded this book, but I ended up reading it a few weeks back. It starts off ghastly, the main character is irritating in a sort of 'worst aspects of YA' way, but it actually turns out to be quite a sweet little story, and the author manages to drag the main character back from 'not as dryly funny as she/the author thinks she is' to 'genuinely pretty amusing' around a third of the way through the book. I can't imagine I'll ever read it again, but it was fun enough. (Re stars, I have literally no consistency in starring things which is why I rarely bother, I tend to star things based on 'did I like this?' more so than 'is this as good/better than [other book I've starred]?' This book gets 3 because it was crap at first but quite endearing later on, for an average of 'yeah, it's fine'.)
