Review: Making Up

Making Up Making Up by Lucy Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We first met Trix (and Leo) in book 2- Pretty Face.  Trix was Lily's best friend and in book 2 she was in an emotionally abusive relationship with Dan.  She did break it off, and in this book is dealing with a lack of self confidence.  Trix is also an aerialist for a theater company whose stage show sounds very circus-like.  Leo is a make-up artist trying to save some face over a mishap on a previous project (it wasn't his fault, but he was blamed for it).   Leo joins the theater as a make-up artist.
Trix and Leo know each other growing up and through a series of miscommunications and immaturity became enemies.  But, there is an undercurrent there and maybe, just maybe they have things in common. Leo sees Trix for the awesome person she is, and she is able to eventually get some of her self-confidence back.  I liked that Leo goes after what he wants.  I enjoyed the interplay between them.  The epilogue was fantastic!
