Courtesy of Teens Read Too,
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lipstick Apology (Paperback)
LIPSTICK APOLOGY follows 16-year-old Emily, whose parents die in a plane crash on their way to California. In the rubble, rescuers find a tray table with the words " Emily, please forgive me" written in lipstick. Emily has no idea what her mother meant, and she goes into a depressed slump trying to figure it out.
Eventually, three months later, she moves to New York to live with her aunt, Jolie, a famous make-up artist. Despite having totally different lives, Jolie and Emily try to bond over take-out food and good movies. In New York, Emily starts at a new school where she is befriended by two popular girls, Lindsey and Andi, and a not-so-popular guy named Anthony. She is also head-over-heels in lust for the most popular boy in school - Owen. But is Owen all he's made out to be? Or is he just a great distraction from the real problems in Emily's life? Deciphering her mother's message really takes a toll on Emily, but when she finally finds out what her mother meant, she'll have to ask herself, does she really want to know? This is a great read, and you'll root for Emily the whole way through. Reviewed by: Angela S.

Funny, yet sad.,
By Sarah Woodard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lipstick Apology (Paperback)
When Emily Carson's parents die in a plane crash, she is left with nothing, but her mother's last words left on the tray table in lipstick: "Emily, please forgive me."
Now it is fall and Emily is living with her makeup artist in New York City. She atracts two boys, the cute, popular Owen, and her quirky chemistry partner, Anthony. One makes her forget and the other one helps remember and find the truth to her mother's last words. So, that she can come to terms with the truth. Lipstick Apology is full of quirky characters. Aunt Jolie and Trent were so funny together, I could read a book just about them. Emily was interesting and had depth like real teenangers. I also liked how Jabaley showed how easy friendship is and how complex romantic relationships are to have a real one. The plot was sweet, yet intense. The love story was a wonderful touch to the story of Emily finding herself. It was original. Jabaley is an amazing writer and I can't wait for more from her in the future. Lipstick Apology is great for an intense, yet fun read. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

An unforgettable debut....,
By Mandy Hubbard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lipstick Apology (Paperback)
LIPSTICK APOLOGY features Emily, whose life has turned upside down when her parents are killed in an airplane crash. While watching the news, stunned by what has happened, a reporter spots something unusual: a tray table with the words, "Emily, please forgive me."
Four little words that change everything. Now, Emily isn't just mourning the loss of her parents-- she's searching for answers. Can she really move on if she doesn't even know what her mother is apologizing for? LIPSTICK APOLOGY is moving, heartfelt, tragic--and yet, it manages to be funny at the right moments too. If you like your chick-lit with a little heart, this is the book for you! 5 Stars. |
