The Good, the Bad, and finally, the last instalment of the series, The Ugly. Ugly Girl was the most difficult one to write in the trilogy. I struggled with it for nearly a year. It was only when I broke the bonds of the detailed outline I created for the story that the words flowed into a decent 68k-word story. The last instalment of the If It Ain’t Dutch, It Ain’t Much series (formerly Dutch Master) is Service Girl, a short story I wrote in a week.
But first, let’s delve into the world of Zuzanna Sówka. Even in your sixties, you can still consider yourself an ugly girl. In fact, Zuzanna never reached the stage where she considers herself an ugly woman; she’s stuck in the ugly girl image of herself.
“Ugly Girl” can be enjoyed as a standalone novel, though some background context from the first two books may enhance your comprehension of earlier plot points.
I hope you enjoy the story; I certainly enjoyed writing it.
