About KISS & MAKE UP
Boys, Lip Gloss, Homework. It’s all in how you apply yourself.
Lip gloss addict Emerson Taylor and her best friend, Trina, have declared this year the Year of the Boy and vowed to find boyfriends. But for Emerson, there’s just one problem: she can read the mind of anyone whose lips touch hers. It’s totally creepy—and at first it seems like a curse. But Emerson soon realizes there are perks to her strange talent—like the ability to steal secrets, memories, and most importantly, test answers. If Emerson doesn’t bring up her grades soon, her days at her private school will be numbered. But kissing for grades is stickier than lip gloss, and Emerson’s about to learn some lessons not found in her textbooks—lessons about true love, and real beauty. Oh, why can’t life be as simple as choosing the perfect shade of lip gloss?
From Delta Magazine (Sept/Oct 2012)
“Katie D. Anderson has an ear for teen lingo and a heart for sharing a strong family and friendship story. The clever make-up theme, complete with lip-gloss-colored chapter headings, sibling rivalry, a best friend whose advice comes straight from the latest teen magazines—and of course, a love interest—make Anderson’s first novel perfect for its intended audience.”
