On one hand, this is delightful. 
 I love Lexi. She is so wickedly devious. 
 On the other hand, this is a book where a bunch of jealous bitches, including adults who should know better, treat an ambitious, determined teenage girl like shit because she has an alcoholic mother. 
 Lexi is too likable for that ending to feel triumphant. Instead, all of these side characters don't hold a candle to how charismatic she is, and it is a chore to wade through their bullshit. So what we got is a book that punished the fuck out of the only girl who earned her right to be a total bitch. And I don't mean by tragic backstory, I mean she was a magnificent, powerful bitch. So I didn't like her downfall. None of the usurpers deserved her throne. And the ending was very rushed. 
 But I loved Lexi. By god, I loved her.
