Synopsis

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?The author of Kiss & Make Up has donated this book to the Worldreader program.

I was expecting to like this book some what but I didn't, I actually fell in love with it instead. It was so cute and funny, I found myself either grinning or laughing out loud while reading it!!

Goodreads review by Sparkleypenguin on July 21, 2017

This was a solidly average book. It had a lot of cringy stuff between the folds of the pages and some problematic things too (like that almost rape part in the beginning of the book and sort of kind of toward the middle with Vance). I honestly loved all of the Ivy characters. They were so cool. Also......more
