This was so much fun to read! Most definitely read The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back first because The Promposal is the second book in the series and these are characters from the first story who are having having a continuing story. Readers don’t want to get lost in the story. In my opinion, this second story was just as good, just as funny, and just as captivating as the first one. I highly recommend it. As I’ve said many times, Sariah Wilson is a gifted author and her sense of humour shines through all of her books. It’s always my favourite part of her stories. Readers won’t be disappointed.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Promposal is a cute romantic read for young adults. I enjoyed the story. It needed a little more character development. The story will have great appeal for younger teens and the characters fit in more with that age group.

Welcome back to the obsessive mind of one Mattie Lowe.
Being inside of Mattie Lowe’s mind is an exercise in hilarity; I couldn’t wait to read The Promposal, the much vaunted sequel to The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back, as Mattie is a trip! A majority of the novel takes place in Mattie’s head, but her one-liners make up for the lack of dialogue. Her jokes, while at times corny, are cute, quirky, snarky, and original.

The amount of time Mattie spent obsessing over her lack of Promprosal brought back the issue I had from the first book in the series (i.e. Mattie had a one-track mind and only focused on a boy).

I did appreciate the slight—and much needed— maturing that Mattie experienced. She was less self-centered and took strides to be a better person and use her difficult experiences to help those struggling with similar situations. Mattie’s growth was poignant, and while she still utilizes her trademark snark to deal with life, she also delivers compassion, humor and friendship to help others as well.
I also enjoyed the jolts of reality that this novel introduced: not every relationship is lasting, people do break up, and infidelity can happen to those you may view as flawless.

I did miss Jake’s point of view in this story, and felt he made pop-in appearances with not very many substantial conversations between him and Mattie. I also felt like the conflict between the two characters was overdrawn and could have been wrapped up sooner.

I very much enjoyed the positive messages throughout the story told through analogies and perceptively honed dialogue: being true to yourself is important and no one should alter your perception of who you are.
This book delivers a teenage girls sarcastic narrative with a healthy dose of personal development hitched alongside.

The book contains a sneak preview of the third book, which I cannot wait to read! As I read at the end of her book, I cannot wait for the third book in the trilogy of Mattie Lowe!

I love Sariah Wilson's writing style, and the Ugly Stepsister series is no exception. Mattie is a loveable heroine that you want to root for. She is spicy, no-nonsense, quirky and hilarious- basically the girl I wish I would have had the courage to be in high school. She has her own style and her own opinions, and she stays true to those no matter what her peers think. To see a girl like that, a girl who isn't the classic cheerleader, bleach blonde, queen of the prom, win the heart of the most popular guy in school may not be the most realistic plot, but it's the one that makes this book series so refreshing. Jake sees Mattie for who she is below the surface, and he loves the real girl, insecurities and all. All of this adds up to make the moment that Mattie finally gets her "Promposal" a dream come true in every way.

I am an "uncool" adult, I found it almost miraculous that someone could write a story about high school students that I would enjoy and relate to.
THE PROMPOSAL centers around a senior class prom, the efforts guys go to secure dates and the high school seniors participating in it. But this book is so much more. The author has struck the right balance of humor and teenage angst. Without using vulgar language and steamy sex scenes, Sariah Wilson has written a novel full of hilarious witticisms (such as newly created words like "consonate" and "smad") while tackling the serious issues of teenage bullying, jealousy and insecurities. This is truly a masterful read that will have you laughing out loud and crying inside as the characters navigate the uncertainty of life.

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is the second book that I have read in this series and the sixth book that I have read by this author.

I definitely categorize this book as a “ya” read. It is geared towards the high school crowd with its friendships, relationships, and drama! I actually read this book during prom weekend for my daughter and I can see how the author truly captures the teenage angst revolving around the “promposal”. I have highlighted several of my favorite phrases in the book and want to share this book with my daughter and her friends as they wander through the high school and dating years.

My favorite part of the entire book is the part where Mattie and Ella are talking about people being a part of their story ... ““but in our life story, some people are meant to be chapters, and some are meant to be little footnotes. That doesn’t make them leaving the story any less painful. Not every relationship can or should be fixed.

All girls that are going through recent breakups need to hear these words!

Another cute Ugly Stepsister by Sariah Wilson. Now I wish there was Promposals when I was in high school!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book which I received through Netgalley.
I really liked the sequel to Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.
Thanks to this book you can see how much the characters have grown and I just really love Mattie and Jake.

How cute is this book?

The answer is tiny puppies in bow-ties giving you a high five cute, but that's an inside joke.

This is an enchanting sequel to The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back. The characters you know and love are back, and ready for Prom. Or are they? Melodrama and sweetness in equal measure.

Recommended for those in need of fun and romance with a side of teen angst.

LOVE SARIAH WILSON! This series is adorable, it’s funny, it’s smart, it’s sweet, and it’s also realistic! There isn’t anything that sets girls up for failure by setting their expectations too high. I LOVE her books!

Another fabulous and funny book by Sariah Wilson. The second book in the Ugly Stepsister Series and it doesn't disappoint. As Mattie is looking forward to her Senior prom and ready to get the ultimate "Promposal". As twists and turns happen throughout the book the reader begins to wonder, will she get asked? This book is filled with witty banter between characters and a plot line that is believable and will have you cheering for Mattie and Jake. Well done!!

What a fun sequel! I've been waiting a very long time for this one, and it did not disappoint!
