The Lipstick Laws


Review : The Lipstick Laws - Amy Holder - April 2011

One of my favourite genres for teens is what they call Pink Lit - this is basically Chick Lit for The younger audience and The Lipstick Laws definitely falls into that category.
When April's best friend moves away it's like Dorothy going to Oz , far far away and for April it's the worst thing ever as she is about to enter her senior year and to make matters worse, her older brother due to the way the school runs is in her homeroom class.
However, April's life is about to change and she is about to go from April Who ? to OMG it's April Bowers as by chance she is paired up in Gym class with none other than the Queen Bee Brittany Taylor. We all know what a Queen bee likes best to do , take on a servant and make her a charity case - her project , her mini-me - though in this case we see Brittany call April her jumbo-me - a criticism at April's weight compared to Brittany's.
Soon April is caught up in the world of popularity, boys and in this case one in particular - new student Matthew Brentwood. But soon, April will discover that being popular isn't all it is cracked up to be and that being friends with the Queen Bee comes always with a price tag attached.
Will April Bowers become a servant bee and bow to her Queen or will she pull a *Jenny Humphrey  and rebel against her Queen Bee Brittany .
Find out in The Lipstick Laws which seemed to fall into Traditions of films such as Mean Girls, Picture This , The Clique with a taste of Bratz, Clueless and Saved.
Ideal for Girls aged 16 +

Note *The Jenny Humphrey refers to Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl when all she wanted to do was follow and be popular under Queen Bee Blair Waldorf's reign until she saw it wasn't worth it and rebelled against the school heirachy kingdom in Season One and then of course we saw her become Queen Jenny in Season Three .

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
