A hilarious new novel from Elizabeth Eulberg about taking the wall out of the wallflower so she can bloom.Don't mess with a girl with a Great Personality.Everybody loves Lexi. She's popular, smart, funny...but she's never been one of those girls, the pretty ones who get all the attention from guys. And on top of that, her seven-year-old sister, Mackenzie, is a terror in a tiara, and part of a pageant scene where she gets praised for her beauty (with the help of fake hair and tons of makeup).Lexi's sick of it. She's sick of being the girl who hears about kisses instead of getting them. She's sick of being ignored by her longtime crush, Logan. She's sick of being taken for granted by her pageant-obsessed mom. And she's sick of having all her family's money wasted on a phony pursuit of perfection.The time has come for Lexi to step out from the sidelines. Girls without great personalities aren't going to know what hit them. Because Lexi's going to play the beauty game - and she's in it to win it.

Via http://onlectus.blogspot.com/2013/07/revenge-of-girl-with-great-personality.htmlSome teenagers might be entertained reading how Lexi went from “ugly duckling” to swan. And I use “ugly duckling” with quotations because Lexie never considers herself to be ugly, just not pretty.And what is the norm...
Emotional and smart. Really enjoyed this book! Full review to come.
There is a LOT of body shaming in this book. It struck me right away; the MC, Lexi, constantly puts down people for being too fat or too thin, for what they eat or don't eat, and loads the reader down with all the stereotypes about body, weight, ugliness, beauty, food, and "health."
