The Lipstick Diaries

By Lori Soard

     Once upon a time, three young girls met and wrote in their diaries. They signed their entries with different colored lipsticks and dreamed of growing up to find their perfect mates. Sixteen years later, their illusions are in ashes, but the flame of friendship still burns bright.

   A wedding invitation sends New Orleans tour guide Kate Tyler back to her roots in Indiana to stop her sister's wedding. The groom is nothing more than a liar and a cheat. Kate should know; she dated Mark in high school. Along for the ride are her best friends. Sarah is there to support Kate in her quest and to think about her future. Rebecca is there to guide Kate, but she has some serious problems of her own.

    When her sister rejects Kate's pleads to postpone the wedding, Kate proposes a challenge. If Kate can find a man that passes all their Grannie's tests on finding the perfect husband, then Jen must agree to listen to reason. There begins a riotous few days as all three friends participate in the quest.

   Lori Soard strikes gold once again with The Lipstick Diaries, a book that every woman should have on her reading shelf. It is a novel that is filled with past memories, the present, and a glimpse of the future. A charming and delightful read that will stay in a readers mind long after they turn the last page.
