Four Little Words Written in Lipstick...
mean Emily must say goodbye to everything she knows. Emily Carson has always been a good girl. So when she throws a party the night her parents leave for vacation, she's sure she'll get busted. What Emily doesn't know is that her parents will never return. That their plane will go down. And the only thing left amidst the wreckage will be a tray table with the words: Emily please forgive me scrawled in lipstick—her mother's last words.
Now it's fall in New York City and Emily's trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Her public tragedy captures the attention of more than just the media—and soon two very different boys at her new school are pursuing her: the cute, popular Owen and the quirky chemistry partner slash pastry-baker-by-night, Anthony. But even with such delicious distractions, Emily can't let go of her mother's mysterious apology. Does she have the courage to face the truth?
With help of a whole new kind of family—one that includes a make-up artist to the stars, a teen model, and a wacky hairdresser—Emily must choose between the boy who makes her forget it all, and the one who encourages her to remember, and ultimately, heal.
Sometimes goodbye is just the beginning.

ReplyDeleteThe weirdest thing I've ever used to write was ketchup. A friend and I were passing "notes" on a plate and then erasing them with our fries.

One year my sisters and I used lemon juice (then on Christmas morning we held them over a candle to see guessed correctly) to write up our guesses for who had who for secret Santa.

The most unusual thing I wrote a note with was chocolate pudding! OK, we did a parent's night art project and I let my first graders put chocolate pudding on their desk and use it like finger paint so they could write a message to their parents for that night...and it didn't matter if they licked their fingers..so I wrote a welcome in my pudding!

I love contests and Lipstick Apology looks like an intriguing book. Lipstick Jungle had lips and what passed between them play a big part in the TV series based on that book.

Hmmm...let me think: I guess the strangest thing would be mustard, for my fiancee's sandwich. I wrote "I Love You" with the mustard...even though I knew he wouldn't see it once I put it together! :)
