Romance Chick-Lit
Every Girl Needs Her Signature Color . . . Jailbait. Mystic Jukebox. Ass-Slapping Pink. Say Hello (and
Wave Good-bye). Born to Run. These are some of the
lipsticks offered by Grrrl cosmetics, colors that every hip
young woman in the city just has to have. Sadie, a twenty-
something Brit living in New York City, has the enviable
job of creating these catchy names—and she’s good at it.
What Sadie really wants, however, is to find the perfect
moniker for Grrrl’s signature color, a color that will be
loved by generations of women. A color name like Revlon’s
famous Cherries in the Snow. Sadie’s own lip color changes with her mood: pink when
she’s feeling girlish, orangey brown when she’s feeling
sentimental, none at all when she’s in love, and traffic-
stopping red, painted in a perfect bow, when she’s ready to
end a relationship. In addition to her love of lipsticks,
Sadie also has a penchant for much older men—none of whom
ever measure up to her father and none she ever wants to
stick around that long. Enter Marley, a mysterious organic-food-eating, yoga-
practicing graffiti artist close to her own age, who shows
up in the Grrrl office one snowy day. . . . Sadie falls
hard, and so does he. But Marley isn’t just devoted to
Sadie; he also has a daughter, Montana, a precocious,
possessive little girl who competes with Sadie for her
daddy’s affections. This bizarre triangle is at the heart
of Cherries in the Snow—a witty and sometimes dark saga of
sex, the city, and the search for love . . . and the
perfect red lipstick—from one of today’s most daring
writers of fiction.
