I heard about this book thanks to ClauReadsBooks and I don’t regret it What an amazing, emotional and epic story! I can see why others can’t like it, but, as a person with a pretty sister and being “the ugly stepsister” one, I could relate to all what Isabelle felt and thought (obviously not the foot and fairy part), but I could project myself into how she was thinking, her anger, her bitterness, her sorrow; also I love how realistic was the author with those feelings, I’m sure that more than one said “yes, totally agreed” or feeling hurt by the cruel things that she said to herself ‘cause we’ve seen someone being that unfair because they were treated unfairly (or being that one). I love Isabelle character, she’s so out of the rules and system and that’s why they can only see an “ugly” and “evil” girl, but this make me think that how some people who is cruel to others are the cruelest to themselves, and also how she was the kindest and thoughtful to the ones who hurt her the most, because you can tell that she torture Ella, or other people in town, but for her was easy to forget, for her was easy to save the woman who made her think while she was growing that she was the most horrible creature born, for her was easy to sacrifice herself to keep her family and the ones she love alive, and I say “easy” because she of course she was hurt and sometimes upset, frustrated also, but that didn’t stop her to thinking on them first to solve a problem when she could think on her own.
