Initial Reactions:This was a super cute and really fun read! 
 I've been there - The friend. The girl with the great personality.... And zero interest from guys - So I know exactly how Lexi feels. I'm sure most of us have (or at least felt like it) and I've gone through the same kind of life lessons and realizations to truly be happy with myself. 
 I really liked the way the story ended too (with one major/minor exception) - Without giving the end away, I was hoping it would go like that for the most part so PHEW. 
 Review originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: REVENGE OF THE GIRL WITH THE GREAT PERSONALITY (henceforth known as "REVENGE" because WOW that's a mouthful) was one of those books that I deem "fun" due to Lexi's titular great personality, but don't be fooled by the sass and cleverness - REVENGE also has a lot of big issues surrounding Lexi's family and friends. 
 I love the plot of the girl with the great personality. I mean, haven't we all been there? I know this book hit a personal note for me because I spent most of high school being the third/fifth/seventh wheel, the last person asked to dances (if I even got asked), and that girl sitting on the couch while my friends flirted with boys. There wasn't anything wrong with me -- I was just the girl with the great personality, not the girl the boys wanted to flirt with or date or ask to dances. I happened to have friends who were gorgeous or flirtatious or rebellious so they got all the attention and I always felt like there MUST be something wrong with me... It was a great story to identify with for me and I'm sure many other girls can relate! When Lexi goes through her makeover phase, she does start to get attention from the boys, but then she has to figure out A) if that's the only reason she's getting attention and B) is it worth it to totally change herself just to be noticed. She goes through a lot of personal changes throughout the course of this book and I loved how Eulberg brought us through that process. 
 I think the thing that I loved most about this book -- in the most terrible way possible -- was how awful Lexi's mom was. A big part of this book is Lexi's sister Mackenzie's involvement in beauty pageants and their mother being the stereotypical "pageant mom". Right off the bat we find out that all of the money Lexi's mom makes goes into pageants -- even over things like electric bills at times -- so Lexi is forced into being the responsible one as far as money goes. That's such a tough spot to put a teenager in and all of those interactions with Lexi and her mom... Gosh, my heart just broke seeing Lexi having to act like a parent to her family and watching her many failed attempts to get through to her mother that there are WAY more important things than pageants. 
 I also need to say that I LOVE that Elizabeth Eulberg let this story be about Lexi and Lexi alone. There were so many secondary characters who could have had runaway story lines (crazy pageant mom, parents' divorce, fight with best friend Cam, gay best friend Benny & his first real romance, Logan & Alyssa romance, Mackenzie participating in pageants) but none of them went off on their own tangents. All of these characters did have their own issues going on, but they were all in the story to support Lexi and help tell her tale and I really loved that. I feel like I've read a few books recently where we get a little TOO into secondary characters and start to lose focus of the main character so it was nice to read REVENGE with the sole focus of Lexi and how all of these invents involving the people around her were affecting her life. 
 REVENGE was a great book that combined romance and big life issues in a very realistic way. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's felt like "The Girl with the Great Personality" at any point in their life!
