Synopsis

Gregory Maguire proves himself to be “one of contemporary fiction’s most assured myth-makers” (Kirkus Reviews) with Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, his ingenious and provocative retelling of the timeless Cinderella fairy tale.
Perhaps best known for his dark and breathtaking Oz series The Wicked Years—including the novel Wicked, which inspired the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical—Maguire is a master at upending the ordinary to help us see the familiar in a brilliant new light.

This audiobook includes an interview with the author.

This book is fun to read, I love how Maguire comes up with a believable story for what really happened behind fairy tales. I liked it more than Wicked.

The writing style was cool to read- nothing like I've ever seen before. But that was the only thing that made me finish it was a pretty boring story. And kind of infuriating.
