Book Blips - Class of 2k11 - Amy Holder - Lipstick Laws

The Lipstick Laws
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Release: April 4, 2011

Short book summary: 
When April Bowers is befriended by queen bee Britney Taylor, she thinks her dull social life is getting brighter. That is, until she finds out that sometimes popularity comes with a price, especially when the Lipstick Laws are involved. 

In this humorous story that explores social hierarchies, friendship, body image, high school crushes, and revenge, April discovers that some laws are hard, if not impossible, to follow.

Inspiration:  While writing The Lipstick Laws, I was inspired to take on timeless teen issues in a relevant, humorous light that most teenagers will be able to relate to.
