The Scapegoat Daughter’s Beautiful Revenge

Summary

I was the glitch in a family of masterpieces.

My parents and sister treated my existence like a long-running inside joke. My mother called me her “little eyesore,” and my sister once suggested I start a TikTok channel dedicated to “ugly-girl transformations,” minus the transformation part.

Even the relatives couldn't help themselves during the holidays: “Are you sure she’s yours, Robert? She doesn’t have a single one of your features.”

For twenty-three years, I played the part of the family clown because it was easier than being the family disappointment.
