THE LIPSTICK LAWS

Britney Taylor is queen bee at Penford High School. She dates who she likes, rules over her inner circle of friends like Genghis Khan, and can ruin anyone’s life as easily as snapping her perfectly manicured fingers. Just ask the unfortunate few who have crossed her.

For April Bowers, Britney is also the answer to her prayers. With zero friends and nothing close to a boyfriend, April is so absolutely unremarkable no one has even spotted she exists. That is, until Britney notices her. One lunch spent at Britney’s table, and April is basking in the glow of popularity.

But Britney’s friendship comes with a price tag. If April will put her name (or rather, her lipstick) to Britney’s totally unreasonable set of ‘laws’, popularity will be hers for ever more.

What could be simpler? Except that April is about to become a slave to the Lipstick Laws, which deny pretty much all independent or intelligent thought.  Just how much is April willing to pay - and what could happen at payback time?
