Ugly Girls by Lindsay Hunter Pdf

Perry and Baby Girl are best friends, though you wouldn't know it if you met them. Their friendship is woven from the threads of never-ending dares and power struggles, their loyalty fierce but incredibly fraught. They spend their nights sneaking out of their trailers, stealing cars for joyrides, and doing all they can to appear hard to the outside world.With all their energy focused on deceiving themselves and the people around them, they don't know that real danger lurks: Jamey, an alleged high school student from a nearby town, has been pining after Perry from behind the computer screen in his mother's trailer for some time now, following Perry and Baby Girl's every move—on Facebook, via instant messaging and text,and, unbeknownst to the girls, in person. When Perry and Baby Girl finally agree to meet Jamey face-to-face, they quickly realize he's far from the shy high school boy they thought he was, and they'll do whatever is necessary to protect themselves. Lindsay Hunter's stories have been called "mesmerizing. . . visceral . . . exquisite" (Chicago Tribune), and in Ugly Girls she calls on all her faculties as a wholly original storyteller to deliver the most searing, poignant, powerful debut novel in years.

Confessions of an Ugly Girl by Alice Wasser Pdf

Millie Glockenfeld will never fall in love. She will never get engaged. She will never get married. She will never live in a house with a white picket fence and 2.4 children. And all for one very simple reason: She is ugly. Fortunately, one thing Millie has learned over the years is that she doesn't need a man. She's got a good job, a loyal best friend, and a crazy but lovable cat lady who lives downstairs from her. What more does a girl need in life? But then one day Millie meets Sam Webber. He is adorably handsome and absolutely perfect (well, almost). And Sam thinks that Millie is beautiful. Now there's a chance that Millie might get the happy ending she's always secretly wanted... if only she can learn to look in the mirror and see what Sam sees.

Ugly Girl by Holly Day Pdf

Like a bomb that only goes off slowly over the course of decades, Ugly Girl by Holly Day is a litany of the damages done to self and others caught within the blast radius, the faceless ones who set the charge but are somehow never fully held accountable for it. It is no sudden explosion, but one that takes years to notice; as she says in Unwinding: I know time has passed because my reflection has been replaced by the face of a stranger. The speaker in the poems is never the one "they" think she is, or the one they want her to be. Despite this disconnection, there is an undaunted strength that bursts through the layers of subjugation: There are only so many people I can be for you and I have to be myself now. -From "This isn't love" Ugly Girl is a must read for woman and man alike; it's honesty and willingness to engage the reader with its perceptiveness and inclusivity will relate to all on a human level.

All the Feels by Olivia Dade Pdf

Following Spoiler Alert, Olivia Dade returns with another utterly charming romantic comedy about a devil-may-care actor—who actually cares more than anyone knows—and the no-nonsense woman hired to keep him in line. "An absolutely witty, swoon worthy behind the scenes romp! Delightful from beginning to end!"--Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin' Alexander Woodroe has it all. Charm. Sex appeal. Wealth. Fame. A starring role as Cupid on TV’s biggest show, Gods of the Gates. But the showrunners have wrecked his character, he's dogged by old demons, and his post-show future remains uncertain. When all that reckless emotion explodes into a bar fight, the tabloids and public agree: his star is falling. Enter Lauren Clegg, the former ER therapist hired to keep him in line. Compared to her previous work, watching over handsome but impulsive Alex shouldn’t be especially difficult. But the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to keep her professional remove and her heart intact, especially when she discovers the reasons behind his recklessness…not to mention his Cupid fanfiction habit. When another scandal lands Alex in major hot water and costs Lauren her job, she’ll have to choose between protecting him and offering him what he really wants—her. But he’s determined to keep his improbably short, impossibly stubborn, and extremely endearing minder in his life any way he can. And on a road trip up the California coast together, he intends to show her exactly what a falling star will do to catch the woman he loves: anything at all.

The Adventures of an Ugly Girl by Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett Pdf

The Adventures of an Ugly Girl (1893) is a novel by Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett. While she is mostly remembered today for New Amazonia, a feminist utopian novel which depicts the emergence of an advanced society of women in the not-so-distant future, Corbett was also a pioneering romance and detective novelist. While little is known about Corbett, her surviving novels and stories suggest she was a passionate campaigner for women’s suffrage in an era of conservative politics and traditional values. “‘Why, what does it matter how your hair is dressed, or what sort of a gown you put on? You may just as well spare your pains, for unfortunately nothing that you can do seems to mitigate your ugliness. I’m sure I cannot think where you get it.’” Dora Courtenay is moments away from meeting her new stepmother, but can’t find anything proper to wear for the occasion. Despite her sister Belle’s constant bullying, she finds the confidence to get herself dressed and, with her brother Jerry’s encouragement, goes downstairs to finish preparing the dining room for their guest. As her father and his new bride wait in the next room, Dora, unaware of their presence, makes a crude joke about Lady Elizabeth, only to discover that her insult, however innocent, was overheard. Despite this blunder, the two start off on even ground, leading Dora to believe that she could grow to admire her new stepmother. Soon, however, her step grandfather the Earl of Greatlands makes a surprising request: he would like to marry her, making Dora a Countess. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett’s The Adventures of an Ugly Girl is a classic of Victorian romance literature reimagined for modern readers.

Ugly Girls by Zoe Cannon Pdf

In a faraway kingdom, a queen gives birth to a baby girl, the ugliest child ever known on this earth. The girl has skin as white as the bloated bellies of worms drowned after a spring rain. Her hair is black as the droppings of a dying horse. Her lips are red as the smears of her mother’s blood that streak her skin. In a neighboring kingdom, another homely girl dreams of attending the royal ball and dancing with the prince. But girls who look like her don’t wear beautiful dresses and kiss handsome princes. You may think this is where the girl’s fairy godmother comes into the picture. But fairies are drawn to beauty. Ugly girls have to make their own magic. This short story is 3000 words long. It is also available in Not Your Heroine, a fantasy short story collection.
