I've never been able to get back my "like" of Lexi since Ms Chafer ruined her character in Command Indecision. Even best friend Lily rubs me the wrong way. If Lily were a true friend she'd tell Lexi the hard truths instead of playing the yes man to whatever Lexi wants to hear. I tried with Shock and Awesome to get past my dislike of Lexi and again this book but I just can't. Lexi is quick to blame or call someone else a hypocrite or scum, but all I see is pot and kettle. I honestly couldn't have cared less which suitor Lexi ended up with, but the manner in which it was resolved assassinated Lexi's character and I haven't been able to let it go. So I'm letting the series go instead.I should have known by the end of the first book, the minute Lexi allowed Soloman to force her to dye her beloved blond mane - when a wig would have simply done the job - Lexi would be a malleable character and 'never question the man/men'. Really..as if the 'can do/get anything' Solomon couldn't procure a wig at any given time! I call bulls#!. Soloman didn't like Lexi's blond...so he changed her. He didn't like her career...so he changed her career. He didn't like her 'choice' of man...so he changed it. By any means necessary. No matter who it hurt. And Lexi happily jumped on board like a lemming. IMO this sends a sad message to young women.If anyone is looking for a good light series like this started out, I suggest the Finley A Tanner series by Rhonda Pollero. The Finley character starts a little shallow and fashion obsessed, a lot like Lexi in the beginning, but Finley grows...and never loses her honor...or her fashion sense.
