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.

Great book

I loved this book! I could not put it down, its suspensful in some parts, funny, and imotional in others

?

One of my friends read this
She recomended it

great!

this story was awesome- although the writing was a little childish (i hate when authors use capital letters... there are other ways to let the readers know that the characters are screaming) it was romantic, and it kept you guessing. i loved the whole thing, and i read it very quickly. this was a new take on romance and making discoveries... very refreshing.
highly recommended.

Awesome!

I absolutely loved this book!

HIGHLY RECOMEND!

I bought this book on Saturday and finished it by Sunday afternoon! It was the best book I have read in my life! It was funny and made me laugh but still made me cry with all that Emily has to go through! Such a good book! It was perfect for any teen girl wanting to escape from their own drama! :) Thank you Jennifer for writing such a good book! :)

Amazing Book!

Wow, this was such a great book! Please read it if you haven't yet, you won't be dissappointed. I've never smiled so much because of a book!

READ THIS BOOK!!

Ok so when I went to the store and saw this book, I didnt know if I should buy it. I had never heard of it so I hadnt read any reviews about it. But I decided to buy it anyway and i am soooo happy that I did. I never wanted to put this book down. I would stay up all night trying to read it. If you like stories about teen romances and teen lives then you should read this. I hope the author writes many more. I LOVED IT!! =D

Something New

I couldnt put this book down! It was very good and a different book then all of those other teen books!!! I am hoping this author writs us a new book soon!

Typo?

im not sure if i just got a misprint or what, but my book has 2 chapter 32's. they match up but the numbers are wrong. is this supposed to be like this?

other than that, EXCELLENT book. i couldn't put it down!

This is a wonderful book for readers of all ages!

Jennifer Jabaley has taken a sad and serious topic and put a fun and hearwarming spin on it. She has created memorable characters who you hate to leave at the end of the book. This would make a great film. Can't wait to read Jennifer's next book.

Lipstick Apology

Jennifer Jabaley is an amazing author. I hope she writes more books because Lipstick Apology is a book I will never forget. I read a lot of books and never re read them, but Lipstick Apology is on the top of my "re read list." I strongly recommend that you purchase this novel.

Great debut novel, a must read!!

This book is great for all ages, not just teens. From the moment I started reading, I didn't want to put it down. Great characters, and a great story line. I hope to see this on the movie screen one day! The story and characters made me laugh and cry. A great debut novel by a talented writer and I can't wait to read more from Jabaley in the future. A definite must read!!!

It made me smile thru my tears

ANother one of my favorite books. It teaches you a lesson that you are not alone even when you think youve been through it all. A verry good rread

Great Debut Novel

While you are saddened by the trajedy that Emily has to endure with the loss of her parents, you are at the same time excited for the new life she is undertaking with new friends, experiences and romances. This book is both funny and sad and I couldn't put it down. It will keep you guessing til the end as to what the cryptic message left by her mother really means and also what boy Emily ends up choosing. Whether you are a teen or adult you will find this first time novel by Jabaley worth the read.

Truly enjoyable. A great read!

I recently finished reading Lipstick Apology by Jennifer Jabaley. It was a fantastic novel that grabbed my attention right from the start. It is a heartwarming story of forgiveness and accepting people for who they really are. You follow Emily as she morns the loss of her parents and searches for the answers to her mother's last words which are scribbled on an airplane tray table. Emily, please forgive me. These four little words take her on a journey of self discovery. As Emily unfolds her mother's secret, she experiences a new home with her Aunt Jolie, new friendships and her first love. It is a sweet coming of age story. I couldn't put it down.
