Among the wreckage from the storm, I found what I needed. Like rain rolling off my skin, the story poured out of my heart, written entirely in crimson lipstick.

River Sutaria's highly anticipated third book, Write It in Lipstick, is a fictionalized memoir-esque narrative that delves into the author's experiences with sexual abuse and family dysfunction. Portrayed through vignettes of intertwined prose and verse, the story highlights the hidden effects of trauma and the power of creative expression in healing and self-discovery. 

Write It in Lipstick is not only a testament to the strength found in vulnerability but also an inspiration for those seeking solace in their own stories.
