If I Have a Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince? by Melissa Kantor

Okay, come on. Just look at that title! Maybe it's just my opinion, but it sounds ridiculous, looks ridiculous, is ridiculously long- it's ridiculous.
Lucy Norton was fine with never really knowing her mother, she certainly didn't need a replacement. When her father remarries, she finds herself having to move far, far away and deal with just the worst "family" ever. Lucy's life develops into something pretty similar to the lovely Cinderella fairytale- so where's her prince and fairy godmother?
The main reason I didn't really like this book was because I don't agree with Lucy's values. She is an outcast and obviously she wants to be the belle of the ball, become lovely and popular. Why???
Anyways, I really like the ending but it came way too fast. Most of the book was pretty well paced but the ending was too rushed.
I'm not sure if I'd recommend this or not. Maybe if you just want a light read. Or if you liked Confessions of a Not It Girl, it's by the same author.
I'll rate the book 6/10- mostly because I like the ending.
