Learn English – Popular among or with or between

prepositions

She is very popular among/with/between her friends and relatives.

Between is used when we refer to any two persons.
Among is used when we need to mention more than two people.

So, if I say,

She is popular between the two sisters.
She is popular among her friends.

I believe there should be no grammatical error in the above two sentences. If yes, please correct me.

Secondly in my main sentence my answer book says it is: with her friends and relatives. How do we use with in this sentence.

Suggestions please. Thank you.

Something that is popular "among" her friends could be popular with some of them but not necessarily with all of them. Something that is popular "with" her friends can be presumed to be popular with each single one of them.
