Revenge of the Girl With the Great Personality By Elizabeth Eulberg

A hilarious 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.

Revenge of the Girl With the Great Personality is great young adult read with a great message. As Ashlee Simpson once sang about "living in the shadow of someone else's dream," Lexi wanted to become the girl who everyone was talking about, not the assistant to the girl everyone was talking about (aka her little sister). Between her selfish mother and bratty little sister, Lexi barely had time to really care about how she looked, but after a dare she took with her best friend, Lexi discovered the magic of fashion and makeup. However, she realizes that people don't just like her for her new look, but they liked her because she gained a new sense of confidence to go along with her great personality. Elizabeth Eulberg does a great job of distinguishing the difference between changing yourself for others and changing yourself for yourself. If I could describe this book in one phrase, it would be "Toddlers & Tiaras meets Mean Girls." Young readers, this is a perfect spring break/summer read, and with it's cheesy (in the best way possible), fast-paced storyline, you're not going to want to put it down!

Happy April! See you next week!
