Why read it?
1 author picked The Totally NOT Wicked Stepmother as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Even though the title hints at the storyline, I still enjoyed the main character’s discovery as she navigates her preconceived ideas about stepmoms to reach the conclusion that maybe they aren’t so evil after all. I would love to give this book to a couple of friends who are stepmoms, but it would be great for any blended family. The art matches the warm tone of the story with just enough hints of possible wickedness.
From Ana's list on retellings with characters out of character.
