Revenge of a Not-So-Pretty Girl

Revenge of a Not-So-Pretty Girl - Carolita Blythe I read this last year for a ms book club, don't know where my review went *side eyes goodreads*

I think it's a really solid middle grade title. Faye is a complicated person and she navigates complicated situations, without seeming like she's older than her age. It didn't seem unrealistic that she would go back to Evelyn's apartment and make friends with her.

2 things that bothered me
1. weird 80s references that tried too hard.
2. Faye is so fat-phobic. she makes so many comments about how fat people are disgusting, and I don't know why it is part of her character.
